    so i installed a lift kit on my car...

    actually went back to stock suspension, lol.

    the gap is around 5 inches and has positive camber, is that normal? i didnt change anything but swap to stock suspension components which include KYB AGX's coupled with stock springs and the stock camber kits.

    the car still handles exceptionally well with no additional bars or aftermarket suspension additions.

    0.5mm Oversized Stainless valves and bronze guides available. Pm me please.

        Im talkin the springs. AGXs arent designed for much of a drop anyway, but the springs have more to do with it.

          these are stock springs with like 200k+ miles on them, they are more than broken in.

          i swapped the whole assembly and didnt not tear apart the struts/springs/tophat shit.

            But how long were they off the car? They probably settled "out" while they were sitting wherever they were so now they have to settle back "in"

              they were on a car that was our "project"

              i just swapped them from that car to this car. no time allowed for settling out.

                Do you have a camber kit installed? If it's still set for the correction of the negative camber from the drop, it would result in positive camber when back to stock height.

                As for the height... stock seems higher after you've been lowered. Also, you have a coupe, right? Did you get the springs from a sedan? I believe the sedans are a bit higher. Shouldn't be significant though...

                  changed back to stock kits...

                  coupe springs on a sedan.

                  oh, i actually think it is fine...the 55 sidewall's enunciate the wheel gap more than usual.

                    Oh yeah, 55s will do that. 60 is stock. 55 is best for handling though, or so I've been told.

                        its true, i cant screech the tires through turns, the whole car has body roll but it hangs in there.

                          I was surprised at how well my old DX coupe handled with the stock 130k suspension on it.
