View Full Version : Do stock ED civic front and rear cambers have adjustment?

I want to lower my car anywhere up to 2.5"s, probally only 1.5-2"s though, I also wanna get 16" rims but i dont think this will affect the wheel diameter since the tyres will just be lower profile. Ive got the energy suspension master bushing kit which comes with bushings for the stock cambers so i dont really wanna waste them as well as gooing out and spending $400-500 on skunk 2 front and rear camber set.

So will i need to get the skunk 2 set or can the stock ones be slightly adjusted?

If i am going to get bad tyre wear by not replacing them then i will replace with skunk 2 as i wanna get decent tyres so dont wanna wear through them like crazy.

Thanks nic

No, ED civics do not have camber adjustment. Toe adjustment ONLY....

i really dont think you are going to get enough camber to worry about it
i put teins s-techs and skunk2 sport shocks on my eg sedan running 15" dc2 fat fives and normal profile tyres and i got like 5mm neg camber on the back and like 2mm on the front ... nothing really
also negative camber is actually a good thing for handling - you really need to do some more research on the basics man =p

I agree with saint, lowering your car the above amount will have negligible affect on tyre wear. On my ED I have about -1.5deg camber on the front, and -2deg on the back and my tyres don't wear un-evenly at all.

Just make sure you get a wheel alignment after lowering as your toe will be out of wack.

p.s saint, think you are getting confused with what camber is measured in. its degrees not mm as you've mentioned above

Ok thank you, i guess ill know for sure once its lowered and a wheel alignment is done, then i can see how fast the current cheapy tires wear before i put nice ones on.

i was juss guessing off the top of my head at how much the wheel was moved out lol
yes you are right - the angle is measured in degrees =)
