don't know about your model, but i lowered mine 2.5" without *needing* a camber kit.. I'm still in spec all around, but to get it closer to 0 i could use a camber kit for the rear... but again, it's still within OEM spec so I'm not worried.. It's been a year now and no sign of uneven wear.

To answer everyone:
I will get pics as soon as i can i have worked a week straight and I am exhausted by the time i get home. I would do it in the morning but i have to get up early and get ready.
And dont worry im not going to ask questions without researching i had another car that I used a forum i know how they work.
Yes i am a model I was in Hot import nights in Pleasanton last year. And yes I mean im going to model in shows with my own car instead of the race team i was on.
When it comes to mods on the suspension and exhaust i cannot do until the warranty is up. The dealer told me that if something goes wrong and those items are moded then it will void my warranty.
And noklrspzim not fake why cant a girl be a model and work on cars. They are my two passions! but no worries i didnt take it personal.
The mods I plan are suspension, rims, exhaust (when my warranty is up). I alreadydidthetint I am Limo all the way around.And it sucks cause in cali there are alot ofbored cops and i alreadygot a ticket because they could see me lol.But i guess its a good thing my brother is a cop and can sign it off.I have black housing HID/ Halo's on order which should look sick. I have put a complete stereo system in and I also have new guages on order. Im going red on all the electrical inside.
Oh and i also have drilled and slotted rotors on order with some nice red calipers. I love red cant you tell.
I want to make new friends and also get help on my car when needed thats why im on here.

How do you still have warranty on a 2002 vehicle, it's at least 6 years old now?

As for the warranty itself, if you install a part it will only void the warranty on that section of the vehicle. Say you put suspension on, you won't have the warranty for the wheels, brakes, control arms, tires...but you will still maintain the powertrain warranty.

I puchased the vehicle in January the car only had 50k so it was a certified preowned and my warranty is 36k or 3 more years. So i have untill almost 100k till this warranty is up Its the honda care warranty.
I understand how it works with a warranty. Its just thati would rather not do anything as in suspension and such until the warranty is up. Both front struts have bown which i know is common around 50k i have had tranny problems, and oil pan gasket problems. too much stuff has been going wrong that i would rather just wait.

You have an 02 right? I have a 98 which is pretty identical to 02's except for the front grill. You're lucky to have the extended warranty. We got a pristine 98 with only 60K on it. already started work by replacing the oil, changing the brakes. In about 5,000 miles of use or so, I will be replacing the transmission fluid. Sorry, I veered off from your question. with regards to the grille -do you have a 2 door or 4 door, not sure if you mentioned it on your first post. If you have a 2 door, I think you might be able to remove it with just those round black fastener tabs much like on my 03 CRV. Open the hood and you see it pretty much on top of the grill. You might have to remove the radiator shroud if you have it. Not sure if this helps, hopefully it does, the grill is pretty much just held by plastic round fastener tabs in which there are a couple of indentations on 2 sides for you to be able to slide in a flathead screw driver and pop it up. Now if you have a 4 door, you might be out of luck. Because the grill is built in with the front bumper. So if you want to replace the front grill, the whoe front bumper goes with it as well. Might be a good idea to replace the front bumper with an aftermarket one.

Are you going for just looks. You have to be careful with buying drilled rotors as they do tend to develop micro fractures which could make your brakes to fail. Not sure if you already bought the rotors but slotted rotors are a better option since they can dissipate heat more. Not saying drilled ones are bad but they have been known to have these so called micro fractures, I'm no expert but have been in car forums long enough and drilled slotted rotors have been discussed thouroughly - pros and cons alike.
