alright people I have eibach springs right now I want to go lower it looks like my next option is tein s spring is it really gonna show a difference in looks it just looks like the rear in my car is freaking high with eibachs here is a pic of my car any opinion on observing the pic if I put on teins s springs will it lower my car more? I'am also buying some tokicos but to be honest I think my rims are the ones that is making my car look not lower at all in the rear here see what you guys think

Yea doesn't look bad at all to me,
How long have they been on the car?
Enough time to settle a little bit?

Also, If your planning on adding a kit remember that most kits have less clearance than stock.
 
well, i have the Tein S Springs on my car, and i have the same problem as you. My back rides higher than my front, which makes it look awkward. As for difference in looks, mine looks quite the same drop as yours. I'd say, if you have the money, save up for some coilover/strut combos, or a full coilover system, which is what i'm saving up for.
 
Coilovers are really the best option. Kinda pricey, but the best way to go since you can adjust it to how you want it.

How do these cars get away with no camber kit!?
factory built in one?

I think I have only like -1 degree camber with a 1.4" drop

it's not bad, might even be within stock specs

helps cornering if anything.

yeah, the suspension our cars have doesn't change the camber much when dropped... but you still need an aligment, because the toe goes out of whack when we lower.

yep my toe was way off

I might have them dial some toe in later though, since the car doesn't feel as responsive without any
 
toe wont give you much in the way of uneven wear patterns... but it will eat them more quickly... you can get a little cupping with too much toe though
 
no I meant with the camber, I'm just amazed that a 2" drop doesn't need a camber kit
a 2" drop on a Honda..and ur tires look like \ hehe

Yea the toe on my car got smacked out when I lowered it also
My friends crx was WAY!!! out made the car act all funny and shreaded tires like there was no tommorow


Edit: gotta say I laughed at your quote "My mazda team member gets your girlfriend pregnant" ...ok done
 
haha nice...

anyways. the reason we dont change camber much is the type of rear suspension we have. its just the geometry of it.. hondas use totally different geometry, they do go way the **** out.. most places either wont align a lowered honda, or do it for considerable cost... they are a joke unless you get camber correction.
 
Yea Butler tire did my alignment,toe,camber for...65 dollars I wanna say

But I put my own camber kit on (spacers in the back) kit in the front...
did really good on my own was only off by a few mm's
