slo-down2.2

I'm getting an Ibach kit soon, and I was wondering if anyone doesn't have cambers with the 2.6 drop. Also, what kind of struts and shocks did any of you buy. You guys are so smart. I don't know anything about cars, except mine is slower and it needs to be faster. And right now it looks like a monster truck, and it needs to be lower.

Well, since you say that the drop is more than 2", you are probably getting the Eibach Sportlines. The Pro-Kit is 1 1/2 - 2" drop, the Sportlines are 2 1/2 or more. I'm not sure. I know that you will need a camber kit on the sportlines.

slo-down2.2

dude, my bad. it's the 1.6 drob, but your right about the sportline comment. I couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me. Did you buy struts and/or shocks?

melo72

I brought the KYB adjustible struts, even though it says Shocks in my sig. I don't remember how much I paid, but I didn't think it was too bad. The ride is good, not great, but I also still have the stock rims and tires. Once I get aftermarket rims, I think the ride will be better.

Less than 1.5" drop = no camber kit

Greater or equal to 1.5" drop = MUST have camber kit.

melo72

Anyone know what will happen if you put a camber kit if you don't need it? Like someone with the Pro-kit and a camber kit, besides wasting the money, anything negative about it?

BTW, those with the Sportlines, my friend who owns a shop has a camber kit for our cars if anyone needs one. I don't know that brand yet, but he was supposed to put it in an Accord and the guy never came up with the money. He order the kit and can't return them.

some people on the board have lower than prokits and still didnt need the camber kit. i dont know how that is but before you go and buy a camber kit have your car checked after you drop it and if your camber is close enough to factory specs then you wont need one

thanks guys...

BTW, do any of you have about 1,000 extra dollars you really don't need? I'm tired of being the slow car. you feel me?

i droped my car about 2" with pro-kits and koni yellows and i think ill be able to get away without a camber kit. my wheels are slightly on an angle. i think there enough adj to correct it. we'll soon find out if i ever get my coar completely back together.
i highly reccommend koni yellow. with the fronts on the lower perch and the rears on the standard perch i got about .5" wheel gap all around.

Hey, i just bought 18" Rims...im going to lower it soon so im goin to need a camberkit....how much does your firend want for it?

PS: For theose of you who have 18" rims....who low did u drop????

melo72

I'm not really sure. He's just trying to get what he paid for them. He ordered them with his shop's discount. I'll find out what he wants to get rid of them for and let you know.

slo-down2.2

ok, Are the prokits more expensive than the sportlines? I thought the lower the drop the more $$$$...

Ish83

not necessarily. i think the sports are more expensive in this case but not by much. just go on to ebay or groupbuycenter.com and you should be able to find some decent prices

I don't know if I'm allowed to do this but I have to sell my aftermarket parts and I have a front ingalls camber kit currently on my 3.0CL that is for sale. I posted in Black Market and am asking only $85 shipped. I bought it from that guy on ebay who sells it for $85 plus $20 shipping. It's only three weeks old.

how soon u lookin to buy?? we talkin now ? or springtime ish ? cause i might be (probably) gunna be sellin the ride and partin it out

im on sportlines / tokico blues / with an ingalls camber kit
less than 3000 miles on the springs

but they are settled because my cars been sittin in my garage for the winter so theres not gunna be a need for a second alignment like im gunna have to get if i dont sell ...
500 beaners or so will take

im confused i though the sportlines were like rated 1.7" drop, I got sportline and my drop is more like 2.0"+

Ish83

yea its supposed to be a 1.8/1.7 drop but after they settle its probably around 2 and maybe more for the 3.0s because they are heavier than the 2.2/2.3s

Acura3.0CL

SO how low did u all with 18's drop your cl??

Ish83

why dont you drop it witht he sportlines. it will look tight

slo-down2.2

does anyone have the prokits? seems like everyone has sportlines. are the prokit people happy?

MaCe

ive heard a many complaints about the prokits ... not of the ride just of the drop ( not low enough ) but then again other people love em ... there not low enough IMO .

r0dxx ... dont forget the sportlines were made for an accord ..our beast is heavier

VXCL

thats why u get some koni yellows and drop the bitch about another .5" ur gonaa need new shocks n e ways so might as well. it worked out perfect for me. got almost as low as sportlines, but with a prokit spring

slo-down2.2

so, the koni yellows are just shocks right? So I need shocks & struts, or just shocks? How much do the koni yellows cost.
Did you buy a camber kit with the prokits and koni yellows VXCL?
