WooHoo i love these things, it handles SOOOO much better and didnt hurt the ride much, i havent had a chance to play with the settings yet but will, also what dampening setting does it come with?By the way i have a one or less finger gap on all fours so its LOW! COMMENTS PLEASE

Bro u using TEIN SS?

NICE... prepare yourself for the camber and alignment. Right now the back end is tight on solid group and probably loose over bumps. Once aligned it will feel less grippy, but you soon learn how much more stable it is. I suggest -1.5 on the rear.

looks like you need a rear camber kit

Looks like you'll rub once you get the camber kit put on. You might want to raise it up to accomodate that. You'll do that once you get oem kit anyways, because being that low you'll scrape the kit pretty good.

o yea i new that, but im going to keep it as low as i can right now becuase the OEM kit isnt goin to be on my car for atleast 6 months. So ur saying that once i get it cambered and alined it will not handle as good? and when i get my swaybar on ill still be able to tell a difference rite? and what about the dampening setting from the factory? what are they? thanks for the comments guys!!

I can comment on the handling after camber kit and alignment. Basically you have extreme camber on the rear wheels and probably a fair amount of toe too. This will make the rear end very grippy in corners, but it'll bounce around on bumps and be very sensitive to uneven road. Once the alignment comes back into spec, you won't have that extreme grippy on the rear... oh, it'll still handle great, but you'll notice the rear end be a little more loose than pre camber and alignment.

damn that's nice and low.

hope you don't hit a big pothole, b/c the car looks like it's gonna bottom out :o

When you lower the car, it changes the geometry of the suspension and you have to bring it back into compliance. Are you familiar with the classic Honda five point suspension linkage and dbl-wishbone design? It helps to understand it an why lowering will make your toe and camber fall out. BTW, lowering will change the camber of any independent suspension car.

kyotousa, go here for some info on suspension concepts, site has some good stuff

i c thx...my friend told me if i lower less than 1.5 inch i don't need to worry
but i saw i thread here say there's advantage to buy camber anyway, it'll make your tire last longer or something.....

anyway i'll read that info when i get a chance thx

so is the stock dampening setting on SS set on 8/16?
same as the basic?

I just had wheel alignment done and to my surprise the rear left was less than -0.5 deg while the right was -2.5!! This result was with the Koni + pro kit combo installed. Anyone knows how this is possible? No damages were found at the axles at all. Should I just get 1 piece of camber kit instead of a pair? Thanks guys

xizor

you can't get 1 piece, they only come in pairs. just get them both, it'll make your alignment perfect and even

LannyM

Even though the TSX has no adjustment built into the factory suspension for camber, the entire assembly is mounted on a subframe or carriage that can be shifted to even out the camber to some degree. If you had -2.5 and -.5, you could even it out to -1.5 per side by shifting the carriage. That is still on the high side, but within spec. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone with a drop come in at spec without a kit though.......even some factory setups are out.

In any event, still better to get the camber kit.
