I am about to get my crx a new ride.... Tockico Blue's, Nuespeed race springs, Upper strut bar, lower rear tie bar, lower ball joints, 3 degree drop zone front camber kit, and out tie rods... that i am putting in tomorrow.... i was wondering if anyone did the same thing that im doing all at once... are very satisfied with what came out... :?:

right now i dont have anything... but stock heated springs.. and blown shocks...as a result of those heated springs... and a very bad alignment! :shock:

DO NOT USE DROP ZONE CAMBER KITS.

crap, I found a very good post on www.g2ic.com but the site is down for now.

I just remember the way that its built allows the kit to rotate which leads to a bent UCA. It also will move the Upper Control forward which will result in lots of knocking and banging (but i guess thats the least of ur concerns if its bent)

Save yourself the trouble and buy SPC.

damn it... yea ur right about that... it is banging alot...in fact the suspension it self feels very soft... and it doesnt take bumps to lightly... boom.... boom... i dont have extra cash to buy another camber kit... soo... what about bump stops??

Another thing too... i thought this new suspension set up woould make my car stiff... but i guess being what it is.... a CRX... its light... and it just wants to go everywhere... well but wait... i havent got a an alignment yet... i do that today.

Ill let u know what it does next...

What do you mean by wants to go everwhere? What tires are you using? rear Poly Sway bushings I hear are a good investment. And yes, and alignment should do wonders... if nothing crazy is wrong. I frankly would suggest removing the camber kit ASAP. I'd much rather have a lil camber wear than screwed UCA's.

yea well... the alignment didnt do much... I dont know whether the guy i took it to didnt do it right but i was there... watching the computer tell him everything was set to 0. My tires now look like SHIT... all the trend on the outer side of tire is gone... ooh im using 195 50- 15's toyos in the front... and the in the rear... does matter cuase they are good. I am going to end up taking that kit out... altogether... today i tried setting the camber back to its original posistion... MESSED UP my alignment AGAIN!! OMG I CANT WIN FOR LOSING YO! Dont ever buy a Drop Zone camber from EBAY !!! unless u want to face what i am having to face... a headache... and a money drainer.

Uh... positive camber? If so, then a lil negative camber will atleast wear it a lil more even.

Where are you getting it aligned. My bro got it done on his GSR at a firestone (he bought the lifetime alignments for 120 bucks) and he got them to print everything out when they were done. Then he brought it to another firestone just to double check. Lifetime alignments = :wink:
