    couple of ?'s about my car

    i got ebay coil overs and i put them on and i have really bad camber and my parents want me to get a camber kit cuz they think it is unsafe to drive. but it will be 300 dollars so i was thinking about getting some tokico struts and springs and i was wondering if it would be better to buy the struts cuz they would cost only a little more then the camber kit or if i got those would i still give me realy bad camber so i was wondering would it be worth it?
    also i got a 92 lx 2dr and i was wondering does the speaker cover pop off so i can get 2 the speaker or do u have 2 take the whole door panel off
    Thanks 4 your help

          when you say coilovers do you mean just the coilover sleeves or full ones. if they are just sleeves ive heard that they can slip but thats just what ive heard from people.

          ive seen camber kits go for between $80 - $150 for 2 wheels and around $150 - $250 at the most for a complete 4 wheel kit.

            I'm sure he has sleeves. And stock struts.


            Honestly, do it right. Replace the struts with quality new ones that are made to be lowered (Koni Yellows, Tokico Blues, even KYB GR2s are better than stock). Then get either some quality lowering springs, or a well known set of sleeves (even those aren't great). Better yet, get a good set of full coilovers. Tein Basics, Tein SS, D2, Omnipower. There are many choices.

            Then get a camber kit.

            It doesn't matter how good your struts and springs are, lowering the car will cause negative camber. The lower you go, the more negative camber you get.

            Negative camber is caused by the changes in the car's suspension geometry. By lowering the car, you cause the wheels to flare out at the bottom. This actually increases stability and control... until the insides of your tires wear down. I had mild camber issues and wide wheels... I saw the results in about 5000 miles. 10,000 miles and my tires were done.

            Don't get a cheapie ebay camber kit, either. Especially for the fronts. Get something from Ingalls or SPC to be safe. You don't want to mess with your suspension! The rear can be fixed by a camber kit from those same companies, or you can use washers. Many people use washers here. Technically it's a bad idea, but I have yet to see someone have a problem with them. Search the DIY section of this forum to learn how to do that.

            Finally, once you have everything you need, GET A PROPER ALIGNMENT! Make sure it's done by a shop that understands lowered cars, as inexperienced shops can make the situation worse (or charge you more when they have to take extra time to figure it out).
