ok i know you are all getting sick of me posting about this but i need advice. and that's what you're here for! lol. anyways, i'm ready to order the camber kit for my suspension, but i've been considering just raising the car instead. i mean, i could just take it back up to 1" (its at 2.5") and not get one. or i could leave it and pay 420$ for a camber kit and installation. 420$ for an inch and a half? i could buy a new hood (which i need) or my lip or new headlights. i just don't know if ill be happy with a 1" drop. can anyone post any pics of a 6th gen civic dropped 1" on 17's? thanx...

well camber is always there even if you drop it a half an inch. but i would suggest a camber kit and since your drop a nice 205 then i would get a kit that adjusts up to 4 degrees of camber even if you pull it up an inch it will still be noticable camber.

holy shit, 420 bucks on a camber kit w/ instalation? damn, thats just insane!!!! for the rear, its just a couple of washers and longer bolts, thats it and thats like 2 dollars, and you would have to get a front kit, where they go for on eBay for like under 100 bucks, and then any tire place will install it for like 30 or 40 bucks, and then you would need an alignment, but not a 4wheel, only a 2wheel....... so just get the front wheels aligned and thats like 50 bucks...... so my friend, you just saved roughly 200 bucks.......
