Yeah I've heard good things about the SPC camber kits, except for some people that bitch about the longer installation time. Well looks like I have a list of things to check out now, so that should keep me busy.Ominous G2 said:SPC makes some sick parts, I got to check them out at SEMA. JDM front can always come later, get the motor done first.
i did the washer trick on my 96 ls, im dropped on h&r sport springs with stock shocks. Its rides cool. I havent gotten an alignment yet but i have 3 washers per bolt and it looks straight. I have an ingalls camber kit for the front that isnt on yet, i paid $40 for it brand new i got a good deal. I dont even know if my camber is off enough to need it, but on my old accord i was - 2.2 degrees and the back was perfect after about 10 and the front was just starting to show inside wear on tokico illuminas and h&r sports riding on 215/45/17s. This was after an alignment and them setting the toe to spec.MisterGisser said:Tein springs with Tokico HPs huh, I'll definitely look into that. Any suggestions for camber kits? I know that you can do the washer trick for the rear on the G2s.
Melt, yes I do love the '98 front end but the JDM front just looks so damn good! I doubt I'll be getting the JDM front end anyways because it just isn't worth it for all that money. Anyways, I live in good ol' San Jose where you are guaranteed to run into a ricer at every stop light.
$40 - that's a great deal on the Ingalls kit. So how long have you been riding on your current setup (the H&Rs coupled with the stock shocks)? I would assume that the shocks would be shot fairly quickly, but I guess I'm wrong since your shocks seem to be holding up well. My brother has a 1997 Accord and he is lowered (if any) on H&R OE springs with KYB GR-2 shocks and he has some major negative camber. All of his tires have inside wear and it's been only a year or so. He assumed he didn't need a camber kit because of the minimal drop.Melt said:i did the washer trick on my 96 ls, im dropped on h&r sport springs with stock shocks. Its rides cool.

So thats why i opted to get the camber kit this time ... funny thing was i wasnt even really shopping for it but when i bought my exaust (used) off this guy in dublin he said he had hella other parts so i ended up going to his house and getting the camber kit and short shifter too ... i never put the short shifter in though cause it has no bend and im hella tall so i wouldnt want to have to lean forward everytime to shift. If youre interested its a b&m ill sell it to you for $35
