      Camber question

      I was following a Honda Civic yesterday and the camber on his rear wheels was horribly affected by his change in ride height.

      Obviously you know my question...without knowing what he did to his car...has anyone had issue with negative camber after installing the H&R springs?

      Thanks.

      I know a lot of you have the H&R drop, have any of you that haven't cut extra coils had camber issues???

      I have the apex lowering springs and i cut off 2 coils on each on them, the front camber was way off the tires got eaten on the inside very quickly, but with both strut to spindle bolts replaced with the camber kits gravana sells, that problem is solved, and yes its sturdy

      So it sounds like without cutting coils, just installing the springs, I shouldn't need a camber kit...thanks Nem

      Ive never had a camber problem when i had the lowering springs before cutting them, so yeah you shouldn't need one

      I heard that no matter what suspension you use, cutting off coils is an absolute no-no. All springs were designed only to be used as is, cutting it less may damage your car or the suspension and might make the ride alot more harsh than it would be without the cutting.

      But that's just what I heard.




      "If I parked a T-72 tank in my back yard, aimed the cannon towards Mexico, and muttered something
      about protecting my village from an invasion, the police would show up and probably haul me away."
