I have an 02 type S, and was thinking about the H&R sport springs. Will I need a camber kit for this setup (1.75F, 1.5R)? I really dont want to lower it that much; all I really want is for it to handle better.

 

Some people have needed it, some have not. I needed a rear kit and a front kit is in my future but not exactly needed.

 

many people who have HR sports dont have a camber kit. a general rule of thumb (anyone correct me if im wrong) is if you lower more than 1.75" you will need camber kit, otherwise its optional.

appearance-wise though, i think the drop on HR sports is really sweet... it eliminates the ugly wheel gap almost perfectly.

if you are still worried about the drop, why not go for something a little less? the tein h-tech springs lower 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back.

 

im slammed 3 inches no camber kit needed!

 

yip...H&R Sports...

 

2 inch drop here and i need a rear camber kit only

 

I think it's a crap shoot with H&R Sport Springs. I have a 1999 TL with the drop (1.75") and a heavy sound system in the trunk, but I haven't needed a camber kit. Then again, there are members with a similar setup (with or without a system) who have needed it. Either way, I think it's worth trying simply for the improvement in handling and that aggressive stance.
If you do lower your TL, be sure to get an alignment soon afterwards! I didn't and it wound up destroying my tires. Good luck.

 

After I had my TEINs installed, had them alligned as well as possible and just have them balanced and rotated every 3 thousand miles. Kinda a pain in the ass but free unlimited rotations came with the tires.

Thanks,

Joe

 

camber kits are overrated. You can actually corner better with that negative camber. the only reason I got the Ingalls camber kit on my old Prelude is cuz I was running thru tires too often cuz of the lowering. But honestly, as long as you keep rotating ur tires often, a camber kit won't give you more than 2500 more miles on ur tires.

 

I have H&R Sports too. No camber kit needed.

CLick sig below for a picture.

 

Well, my -1.5 camber on the rear ruined a set of tires (ie couldn't rotate them up front because of the pull) in under 2500 miles.

 

well thats a case for a camber kit

 

How come you dont need a camber kit? Mines just as low as yours and I have crazy camber.

 

I think he is in denial or ran out of money...

 

What kind of drop gave you that much camber? Was it more than 1.5 inches?

 

Well at first I ate up the front tires but (never had any issue with the rear tires) after I got it alligned I had no problems over 4,000 miles 3,000 on the stoks and 1,000 on the 18's not one sign of wear and the allignement shop is a custom shop said the camber is fine and they are very straight I assure ya I would not spend 600$ on ties to have to keep buying new ones! I guess its all about ya ride setup!

 

HR Sports 50103 on a 2000TL. I think they advertise 1.5 in the rear, so give or take some..

 

I have the h and r sports and i had to get a rear camber kit.
