Honda Civic LX HFP suspension + Camber Kit

StrategyFreak · 03-21-2008, 03:41 PM

I'm planning to get the Honda HFP suspension and a camber adjustment kit for both the front and the rear wheels for my 2006 LX . I was thinking about getting no camber kit, would that be alright because I although I drive hard my car is not just a track car. The sticky seems more geared towards people who are going to be doing racing more than anything else. I am very confused.

However then I just read about the problem regarding the Honda's TSB concerning the rear camber problem. So is it true that the rear camber on my car is messed up anyways so I should get a kit?

I tried searching and stuff but with so many confliciting sources about suspension I'm really confused. So the question is basically should I get camber kit or not for a daily driver if I get a HFP suspension for my 2006 LX?

I was in the same position as you a few weeks ago. I decided to go with the camber kit. I figured if I'm going to put performance suspension on I might as well do it right. Also if you just install the HFP suspension and later decide you will want the camber kit you will have to get another alignment and alignments are that cheap. I say if you can go for it. I got the SPC kit but the skunk is equally as good. SPC F&R will run around 260 ish shipped. I got mine from SCTuned.com

Yeah I suppose safe rather than sorry when I see the tire wear. Ah well I guess a camber kit would be worth it anyways.

I actually would have gone for Eibach Sportlines (i was hoping for a little more lowering than just 1 inch), but after reading on how aftermarket springs with stock shocks causes them to wear out much faster, I was scared about getting springs without being able to get shocks, and there are very few available for the non-si models.
