Camber kit advice?? - Honda Prelude Forum

Nadia · 07-03-2009, 04:27 PM

I Just lowered my 99 base model not too long ago. Front- 2" / Rear- 2.25"
Skunk 2 racing springs. Don't know if that matters.

I need a little advice and help on what kind of camber kit i need.
I've heard people say i need to get an alignment done first, for some reason?

Thanks. : )

People say to get an alignment done first because there's a 95% chance you have no need for a camber kit. So go get the alignment, then post the results.

Alright, thats what I'll end up doing. I'll post back when i know if i need one or not.

Thanks for the help!

skunk2 springs on my 4th gen. Did u replace ur shocks too?

I needed one for my front, not so much the rear, but it could use it.

the springs do lower themselves after a few weeks. So be prepared for alignment changes/issues as the springs settle.

^^heavier car. also its toe that kills your tires more than anything, tell the alignment place to get as close to spec as possible and you will be good.

no i didn't replace my shocks. They were still fine. But i'm about to get an alignment and see how that helps. Cause my tire wear is messed up.

Nadia · 07-07-2009, 07:52 PM

Alright thanks. I just figured i'd need a camber kit no matter what.

cause the springs settle over a period of 2-3 weeks after install. also as said in another post. its a heavier car.

Yea, they've been on longer than that. So it's pretty much settled.
