Rear Camber kit and you should be good to go

i thought you needed shocks too?. and, why JUST the rear camber?. actually, i think the rear only has camber?.

Since the drop is a small one you will not need a caber kit as long as you rotate your tires atleast once every 4k miles.

I been running my prokit on my car for like 6 months now with no problems.

wait, so you only have the springs on your car and thats it?. nothing else?. how you doing that?. I thought that was a no no.

Yup that it, only springs on my car and is doing great.


I research on this before i purchase them, and i got alot off everything, but many people said a camber kit is not require with the 1 inch drop the prokit gives you, but if you go with something like the S-techs,sportliness, or any other springs that will drop you past 1.4 then you will need a camber kit.

you dont really need the camber kit, but i have only cause i wanted to bring it back closer to oem specs.

if your doing the install yourself your going to need spring compressors. and also you'd want an alignment done a week or so later after the springs have settled.

a 1" drop looks like what?. do you have pix?. maybe thats what I wanna do. the thing is, I wanna keep the OEM wheel and tire specs the way they are but with probably different wheels and tires. I just don't know how low I can go with those OEM specs. I'd like to think that all I'll need is a 1" drop to get rid of that wheel gap and make the car look aggressive.

I wonder what a 1" drop looks like with the OEM wheel and tire specs. And I also wonder if with just 1" drop, will I need a camber kit or anything else other than just springs. Yes, I heard that before of when you're JUST getting a 1" drop, that you don't need aftermarket shocks and dampers, cambers and such. I'm hoping that I will like what a 1" drop looks like with the OEM wheel and tire specs.

Please, if anyone has pix on someone's 1" drop with their OEM wheel and tire specs, to please send a pic my way so I can get an idea. thanks.

click my sig. you'll see my car dropped on tsx wheels (which are the same specs as oem si wheels) wrapped in 215/45/17 and 18x7.5 wrapped in 225/40/18

[Johnold]

^that is really nice looking man! thats pretty much what I was askin and what i'd like to have looking on my car. although It'll probably be and look alot better if I were to get 18" wheels instead of staying 17"?.

do you think with a 1" drop that 18" wheels with same offset and OEM specs and same OEM spec tires would look good?

I'm thinking that maybe I should buy some coilovers preset 1" with some 18" wheels and same OEM spec tires.....would that workout?

[rippars]

the current setup or the first pic in my thread when you click my sig has 18s with 225/40/18 tires is as close as you going to get to oem specs when it comes to the speed reading on the speedo.

as for the drop yea i was thinking about getting coils but im not looking for adjustablity im happy with the 1'' drop and im only looking/waiting on koni to come out with their shocks. which would still cost less than getting coils.

so is the rear camber mandatory for the sportlines? cause im about to get some tommrorow.

no Tim and ILL FG2 do not have the ream camber kit. just make sure to rotate your tires often.

[originalg00kster]

alright really appreciate it. i rotate my tires often..every oil change. 3k is that fine?

[Johnold]

if I get coils, i'm not going to mess with their adjustment. i'ma have them set to 1" drop so that doesn't mess with too much of the OEM performance and other mechanics. I'ma leave them like that and roll with them. someone told me that coils are the best all around buy, thats why they're pricey. I don't really know yet if i'll get them but it's an option. Why are you getting Koni shocks?. you don't like the way you have your setup right now?. I hear Koni's are nice though. I thought those Mcpherson struts and shocks are fine enough....?

[rippars]

the stock shocks will blow at some point so you'll need to swap them out sooner or later.

^aren't coilovers FULL setups of shocks, struts and springs all in one?. getting coilovers should be all one needs for a complete setup right?. alteast when having it adjusted to a minimum of 1" ?

[Johnold]

BTW, my car is only a Daily Driver car. It's the only car I have and don't wanna track or race with it. I just want a nice looking aggressive stance and maybe SOME performance. Thats why I'd go with Coilovers

[BigGreg030]

No camber here either and all is good
