Hey guys, Im planning to buy some kyb shocks + some new springs, my car isnt low enough :D, and I was wondering will my camber go totally out of wack if i do this? The springs say 1.75 - 2.25 drop and atm im driving an ed6 civic.

Opinions Please

Yes your camber will definately out. A higher profile tyre will correct it slightly but you most probably are useing 16 or 17 wheels. hey? Expect your tires not to last long.

im using 15" wheels with a reasonable profile tyre, yokohama A539's. I think i might stick with my 1.5 inch drop for the moment and just get some new shocks

It depends what your definition of "way out" is....

Hows F: -2, R: -3.5 strike you?

i've noticed that if you change the shocks as well your camber should not be out as they design the springs and shocks usually to work together. Mine is extremely low on an ek4. I think it is about 2-3 inchs lower than standard and my wheels do not camber. Whereas my friend only got springs done and his were cambered. He is also running 16" rims, but this doen't help at all.

Remember that if the axle at an angle the whole thing no matter what wheel size it is will still cause a camber to occur.
