lowering question

I have a 2000 prelude and I want to lower it about 1 1/2 inches. What is the maximum I can lower the car without needing a camber kit or a new set of tires in 2 months? I heard anything less than 2 inches and I should be fine. Any suggestions?

ive herd differently, Im gonna lower my car about 1.5 inches all around with Tien S-techs and from what i've herd you need to get a camber kit. Someone said that 1.5 was the max you can do w/o a camber kit of course im not to sure. I suggest you just drop it and get it allinged and get a printout on what your camber was before and after the drop

no matter if you drop it 1 inch, 2,3. it will always knock your camber out, and lude's do not have a very large window. 1-1.5 will knock it out less, so you'll just F up your tires a little slower. my suggestion is do it right... or don't do it at all.

I had my 00 Lude Lowered W/1.5 drop Eibach Springs And No Camber Kit.It ate my tires like nobodys business.(although they were 18in) I def. suggest a camber Kit

my 93 is lowered with h&r 1.3/1.3 and has 18's and i can tell it needs a camber kit....so do yourself and your wallet a favor get a camber kit!!

I just lowered mine with eibach prokit about 1.2" drop and i bought the camber kit for it as well. well, after installing it, my toe was off on my back tires, and i went to get it aligned today and the toe and camber were off, they fixed the camber with my kit but my toe is still off. I guess either way lowering it is going to set off something because its not as it was at factory conditions. By the way its a 92 lude.

hmm.. i never throught of checking the toe in toe out after lowering a car, and you just noticed this after you lowered it?

yeh i just got it aligned and they said that either the toe or the cambers still gonna be off a little, so, im tryin to see if i can get an adjustable control arm to fix the toe, but well see

mine had neg 3 deg camber when i lowered mine 2.75 in the rear :smile:
