Couple questions regarding lowering the 2001
I purchased an Eibach Sportline kit for my Civic, and have two questions. First do you have a DIY guide for these. or can I for the most part go along with the coilover install? Secondly, the guy who sold them to me and who has never lead me wrong in the past told me I didn't need a camber kit as the new Civic has bolts to adjust camber. I've heard this is wrong and right, so can anyone tell me here for sure?! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Much appreciation.

Well i believe the sport line lowers your car 1.3 inches. It probably won't affect your chamber that much. Eibach sells universal kits to correct the problem if you want it. Ingalls would be the best, but if you only lowering your car that little bit, it should affect the chamber that much.
H&R sport. i have the same springs. it is a 1.3" drop. i brought my car to the alignment guy and he said it is 1 degree off. i then bought the ingalls front camber kit and had them installed. they cost me $50 for the front. the front is .01 degree off and it is basicly nothing. the rear... its still 1 degree off. the front is more important IMO, it does all the turning. the rear is juss dragged along with them.
Alot of these guys will tell you not to get the camber kit , but I highly recommend it. Even a little out of wack camber will play hell on tire wear, or you'll have problems with it pulling to the left or right . I run coilovers and installed the Ingalls kit with the poly bushings, dont use anything else. If you got a deep wallet then its cool go without but the alignment on our cars is not adjustable so get the kit.... I payed 210 for both front and rear.
