So,
if I do the HFP sus/kit the rear camber kit is a must but the front also?
Or why not since the front will be apart anyway..
Anyone "not" do the front camber kit with the HFP sus/kit?
Thanks

Oh and this is for my 07 EX/Coupe

Guys, be careful on the Skunk 2 rear kit, currently they have an issue with the bushing is smaller and the result is there's a play after driven for a while the bushing gets weak.
Skunk will replace the bushing as well the pin that goes in, both pieces are redesign and fit snug.
I will recommend to sent it to Skunk or to call them before install them. Save your self time and alignment money.

yea

civicRfun · 11-14-2007, 08:14 PM

I can see the need to adjust camber if you lower the geometry, but
If you put on lowering spings -and you leave the stock shocks on, aren't you compressing the shock too much and causing a harsher ride?

bmnorm2 · 11-15-2007, 07:35 PM

aka 900 $ ??
ive got the springs sittin in a box behind me gonna put on soon but i think ill wear out the stock shocks a good bit before i spend a grand for new ones heh

ortivt6 · 11-22-2007, 07:08 PM

If u get the springs only, after a while ur gonna need to replace the shocks... so why not get the whole set up oh and be able to adjust it to any height...

hoanger · 11-22-2007, 10:20 PM

well if you've got the springs, you can put em on with your stock struts.. like a lot of people do, so you're not the only one.

If you're only in it for the drop and no extreme performance or track time is needed, then springs are a good alternative. However, as long as you are aware that your stock struts will blow some day and you intend to replace them when they are, then I see no problem.
However, if you don't you will get the bounciest, crappiest ride ever.

Theres a riced out accord here whos lowered and every little bump he hits makes him bounce.. its ridiculous.
