Damn, even with the stock setup, its rubbing? or whatever its called...

my car is in the body shop for a month, so I cant look at the tires. I was checking them before and didnt see any balding occuring.

When i get my car back, what should I look for?

Nick

Have the alignment checked (which you should do when altering springs and other equipment that will alter suspension).. YMMV

My Valencia Acura did the alignment as well when the springs were installed. Everything I thought was set.

Not everyone needs a camber kit with Comptech springs. It just depends on what you find when the alignment is done. But most people here have no need for the camber kit with Comptech springs since the drop is less than 2".

I doubt you need cambers for the CT drop. I got my Teins in the rear dropped to no gap and my I'm only off 1 degree camber and 1.1 degree on the other side. Now the Comptechs only go like 1inch or less...so I doubt you will have a big issue. Just align it after it has been lowered and you'll be fine.

Nick, when i got my wifes tl (with ct springs) done @ valencia
after the alignment they said no need for camber kit. Also,
when i did my cl (with neuspeed springs) they said no need for camber kit, the alignment checked ok. I rotate my tires about 3k
miles, and havent noticed uneven tire wear yet..( i have about
10k miles on the neuspeed springs)
