Thats what i was thinking, but my drop isnt much lower and I have/had horrid problems with camber.

But back to the car. Gimme ur wheels, theyd look badass on a dc5 lol

lol I like dc5 wheels.. too bad you're too far to swap

Anyway, I wouldn't rule out camber as an issue, but it's not a "problem" per se for now. I need to get a camber kit asap to correct it. I don't want my tires wearing out on the insides.

Yeah for real i wish i was closer lol

Camber will infact wear out the inside of your tires, but theyll last longer if your toe is set to 0. My car had horrible camber problems with a drop of only 2". My rear camber was -2.7 lol. Dont wear those tires lol, freaking epensive. I had a set of 05 dc5 wheels, and i needed one tire for them. I priced it, it was around $200 for one tire and those arent that great of tires either. So I sold them to buy a new bmx bike. lol.

My rear camber will be around -1 once i get this T1R camber kit on, and around -2.5 front when i decide on some coilovers lol.

typically anything over 1.5" drop and you will start having alignment issues, anything under that, you dont need a camber kit, just an alignment and you are set. 2.0" drop looks nice but it really offers no benefit in daily driving.

Thats a nice point. Yeah but im stuck on these hella low drop springs until I get my ass in gear and order up those BC N+. For now my car is jsut a dd, and a regular parkway/touge run car. Im just a little skeptical on the drop I should use, I want it to look nice while performing well also. Ive read up on the BC N+ and have all the preload info, etc. Just dont know about the drop.

Sorry for thread jacking bro, lol

i personally like a 1.5-1.75" drop myself

my 06 is dropped on BC N+ right around 1.9". Camber is set fine, everything is good.

Sweet, how do they ride? About the drop, I guess ill see when I get them. Just do some different drops see what feels/looks the best.

Ps- I love the dash on FG civics, SO badass.

very close to stock feel, more stiff, but thats a given with higher spring rates. The thing about the BC's is the bottom adjusts, not the actual spring height. So you never loose travel on the shock. Thats the benefit and makes a bigger difference as you get full dampening vs limited if you drop too low.

T1r_dc5 · Post by **T1r_dc5** » December 30, 2007

Awesome! Thats about what im looking for. Yeah I read about that, the shock body adjusts so you can go with any ride height and it doesnt effect the dampening of the shock. Its well worth it, where did you get urs from? jhpusa is the cheapest ive found besides clubrsx and clubrsx doesnt have them in stock.

Did you have any trouble installing them?
