    strut/shock assembly does not play a part in the camber change when raising car height, its to do with the geometry in the lower and upper arms, their design, how they bolt to the chassis, etc. This is for double wishbone suspensions of course.

    If you want to avoid camber when low, get some camber kits.
    Ingalls/Skunk have front upper arms around 250-350 for the EK, prolly same price range for other models if they are available,.

    Whiteline has rear camber kits. Basically washers that go to your rear upper arm and increase camber. Very cheap at 15 bux. Skunk has one too, not sure how much. JDMyard has the skunk stuff, and I got my whiteline rear kit off undergroundimports (trader section)

    Thanks for the reps

    Couple of traders here in ozhonda are selling the Tein SS, at least 4 from what i remember. Good competition = good price (in theory ).

    If they dont specialise in hondas then usually they would only know general info about the car. I nearly didnt have a 99-00 facelift on my EK4 simply because the panel beater didnt believe me it was doable. I had to convince him for 3 days and also got him to call a Honda Service Manager.

    So always get an opinion from a person who knows their

    I second that, ive installed Tein HAs on a Prelude (F22 SOHC 2.2 instead of the H22 DOHC VTEC 2.2 ), and the fronts couldnt go as low as was in the spec sheet.
