    Post '97 Ek Civic Camber Problem

    last week i got my front 2 tires changed and the specialist told me i am running -2.4 offset on my front driver side wheel. and -0.6 on my front passenger side.

    my cars a '97 ek hatchback which is lowered on eibach springs on stock shocks.

    so what are my options, i dont want to fork out $300+ on a new camber kit, but if theres no other way then i will.

    is there a cheaper way to get this fixed?

    thanks in advanced, really appreciate any help

    you talking about camber or toe?

    if you're talking about camber something is whacked with your suspension is there's nearly a 2deg difference between each side

    yeh im pretty sure its camber, im not sure if this is the problem, but i drove 200m+ on a flat tyre last week the day before i got my camber checked.

    and that flat tyre was the front driver side, which is the side of the -2.4 camber.

    driving on a flat will only affect the tyre/wheel

    since camber isn't adjustable on the ek you'll need a kit
    but it sounds like something else is up with your suspension
    with stock control arms my camber only differed up to about .35deg at most

    service manual states camber at the front should be 0deg +/-1deg and the rear should be -1deg +/-1deg
