posting intro photo & seek camber advice
 
trying to post pic, but ? i am planning strut/spring job. car already low, but not well-tuned ride. upgrading to Bilstein Sports & HR Sports. will have 1.75 frt & 1.5 rr drop. should i wait til after strut/spring install & align before i buy frt & rr camber kits (ball joints/upper contril arm)?

patrick - no engine mods. a real looker. i found it online, flew to see it, pondered and paid, then shipped enclosed from ny to ca. had it 1 mo. stays in garage. it has 28,000 on it, and a mediocre susp. its being too low for driving motivates my current plan. trying to move ahead quickly to minimize scraping of bodykit. plus of course i want to drive it!!! (more pics avail. can email) thx, mark

Must aligne it before you drive it cause maybe it hasn't been aligned which means the tire are gonna wear out quickly..

I could live in that Enclosed trailer as long as I had a computer hook-up..
Nice out fit you have and Welcome To The Forums..

the hondas are very bad for camber issues on lowering..when working as a tech, i had a few customers and when lowering more than a half inch...they got into SERIOUS tire issues...

so is your advice to go ahead with camber kits all around, or wait til i "read" how close camber can be dialed in, then buy correct kit(s)?

patrick - also i'm LESSENING the current drop, though i don't trust previous owner to have necessarily completed job (by adding camber corrections).

i would never lower a car with lowering springs or coilover kits without a camber kit. just because of the damage to the tires and drivability issues.

I fully agree with Patrick on this camber issue...camber your ride or get ready to purchase more tires in the very near future...
