Do you need camber kit for comptech springs?

[FritozSI]

I just ordered my set of Comptech lowering springs, I was just wondering if any of you have them and if you got the camber kits for front and rear? How are they holding up? It's only a 1" and 1.25" drop, so I was not sure if the camber kit is really necessary.

I think you should be investing in a camber kit for any sort of drop. That's just my suggestion though. Spend the extra $250 now and avoid a huge repair bill in the long run.

Get the camber kit or else you wont be able to get a good alignment from the alignment shops. Some places wont even attempt to align it if they know u dont have a camber kit installed. So do yourself a favor and spend the ~250$

i dont think you would need a camber kit, its not a low of a drop to get one. would be a waste of money for you. if it was lower then 1.5 then you should consider it other then that no.

LOL!!!!!! and i think you will be needing new tires if you drop it align it thats a basic rule if you drop it you are changing the geometry used in the suspension caster camber adjuster allow you to "readjust" to meet the geometry the factory intended the only reason to run with a slight camber is for scca or other competitive racing but for road use have the car aligned at a trusted shop not like midas or somewhere cuz grassroots did a write up saying something like 85% of aligments done there were incorrect!

I have 6000 miles on my car now with a perfect rear alignment and -2.6 degrees worth of camber and guess what; My rear tire-wear is still PERFECT. There isn't nearly as much weight on the rear-end of the car, thus tire wear isn't affected nearly as much. Make sure the toe is perfect and camber doesn't hurt tires nearly as bad as people think they do.

RWatters, got a pic of your car? I'd like to see how much it dropped it compared to stock. Just saying a few inches doesn't mean anything unless you see a real pic.

if its only 1 inch drop you really dont need a camber kit cause when you install hfp springs honda doesnt install no camber kit imo the car was made to be drop 1 inch with no camber kit. or else honda would have hfp camber kits available.
