Chamber kit with H&R springs???

[CvicKila02]

Alright guys i ordered a set of H&R Sport Springs and they have a drop of 1.25 / 1.0 (F/R). I got a really good deal on them too. Now I was just wondering will i really need a chamber kit i don't wana have to find out the hard way and have my brand new tires start wearing uneven on me. And if i do need a chamber kit were is there a place that makes the best one for a decent price i don't wana spend more than $100 for a chamber kit if a cheaper kit will work just as well. I tried searching for this answer and came up with nothing that would be able to help me with my problem, and i hope you guys can point me in the right direction. Thanks

The only place that i've been told of is Machv.com for like $175. The only way i know of this is cause i'll need them soon unless i put the stock suspension on for the winter.

 

[CvicKila02]

I talked with a reputable shop in my area and they said that on the stock suspenison with that drop a good alighnment shop should be able to correct everything. So should i for go the kit????

 

[NAT01]

This might help too.

Where the hell did you get those numbers from? They lower your car a lot more than that...

 

[CvicKila02]

I got them right off of their order form from H&R directly

i dont know about a 1g but i have the sport springs for the 2g and it lowers the car a bit more than what they say. on my car I definitly needed the camber kits, so to make sure just get an alignment after you lower the car and if you car needs a camber adjustment then you need to get some camber kits

 

[LandoAWD]

The drop is right on guys.
I run the same setup, and just did the manual adjustment of rear camber and left the front alone (1g AWD only). No uneven tire wear I have noticed.

 

[NAT01]

my rear still looks a little "slammed". so i think i'm gonna have to get that camber kit

 

[CvicKila02]

hey NAT01 I found a Vfaq somewhere about how the rear of the 1G's u can ajust the back camber enought to were you won't have to get a chamber kit. I think this is what LandoAWD refered to when he did the manual ajustment. I'll try and find out the link for you. If that works good because i've already spent $618 on the supsension already I don't wana have to spend $190+ on a Camber kit.

I have not tried it yet but next week when i get my KYB AGX's in i'll try it out. I shouldn't have to ajust it too much seeming that i got an H&R kit thats not going to slam my car to the ground. But it should help out if you are just lowering it a tad.

[NAT01]

yeah, i tried the stock camber adjustment. but i think that the car is dropped more than an inch. i adjusted these bolts out all the way out cause i figured that the rear tires were worn way too much on the insides, and i was gonna need new tires anyway. it still looks "slammed". so i'm just gonna have kost or someplace put the stock suspension back on when i get snow tires for the original stock rims that i have. then when the good weather comes back next year, i'll get the camber kit and some new tires for the summer rims. hope some of my input helped. later

 

[CvicKila02]

I hope that i don't have a camber problem that will make me have to buy a kit. LandoAWD how much do ur wheels look slamed??? u have H&R Spring w/ KYB AGX's right

 

[LandoAWD]

Yup...check the gallery...I'll try to post pics this weekend, but the tires are almost straight up and down, if not completely.

 

[CvicKila02]

Thats great to hear. My KYB AGX's and H&R springs should be installed by next Tue I'll post a before and after picture of the wheel gap i hope that it almost completly gets rid of that . Thanks.

[NAT01]

well, i think that from what i can see, it looks like my car is dropped lower than lando's. plus there is the fact that i have 16" tires. can anyone maybe give me an idea of how high the bottom of the middle of the fender is in the rear of a dsm with stock suspension/rims/tires? maybe this can give me an idea of exactly how much i should raise the car up. i think i'll end up having to get the camber kit, unless i can find 17" rims for next summer, and get rid of these 2G GST rims. One also has a bend in it, so it really gets annoying when i have to go down the highway and back knowing that there's nothing i can do to stop the vibrating.

*edit* just go to my gallery to see what i mean(before/after pics of the coil over's)

 

[CvicKila02]

Well i don't know if these are any good but Taboo Speed Shop sells what looks to be a cheap camber kit to maybe hold u over till u can afford a good one like Ignals or something like that.

I'am not sure if that will help you or not but you could give it a shot its only $70 compaired to $190+ for Ignals.
