skunk 2 springs

just a question here...
will i need a camber kit or anything if i go to lower my civic?
and would new shocks be a necessity or just something to improve the ride?
thanks guys.

Yes you'll need a camber kit. Im getting bad tire wear on the rears with a 1.5 drop. Depending on how low you go, new shocks wont be a necessity... But are recommended with big drops.

how much are you dropping? a camber kit isnt really nessecary unless youre dropping 2 or more inches (its recommended if your autoxing tho)

Pssssshhhhh A camber kit is pretty much necessary for most drops below 1.25. But your right it isnt necessary unless you want new tires every 3 months.

RE: skunk 2 springs

i dropped my 97 2.5 with skunk2 and dont have a camber kit and do not have a tire wear problem, it will handle better w/o the camber kit cause ur tire will have full contact with the road when u throw it the curves
