    Question just wondering

    Just wondering, does anyone kwow how much a set of Neuspeed

    Sport lowering springs would run? And does anyone know if I

    need a rear camber kit for proper alignment if I plan to lower my

    car 1.75" up front and 1.50" on the rear. ( doing this to a 2002

    civic coupe) any info or experience would be great!

    It varies from car to car, but I don't think 1.75 inches would need a camber kit. On my car, I'm lowered 2.0 front and 2.2 rear, and my tire wear is perfectly even. Just get a proper wheel alignment a month or so after installing the springs.

    I think it depends on the vehicle; you have to factor in many variables; such as weight and stock height. I know on my car, it's recommended to have a camber kit if your drop is more than 1.5".

    2001 Cavalier Z24. I got Eibach Sportline springs, 2.2 inch drop in the rear. No need for a camber kit on my car. The place I got the springs installed was able to align everything to factory spec.

    i found on my civic, i needed to get a camber kit very badly.

    I lowered my car 1.75 with H&R sport springs, it ended up sagging
    down to 2" and i found i had very bad positive camber!

    im not sure if the suspension on your civic is alot different than mine but i would highly recommend you pick up one. it will save a potential headache down the road...

    rick???????? this sounds like you. when did you become a part of this forum? dont worry about getting lowering springs, ill just cut your springs in half and get you some 12 inch rims then your car will be lower.

    u do "not" need a camber kit. 1.5" in the rear should be fine. just get an alignment after the springs settle(couple of weeks). if u slam ur car later (i.e. ground-control ---> 3" lowered all around), then i would recommend SPC Camber Kits
