Going to spend some money. HELP

[CivicBeater]

I've done my research and I would like some help as to what esle I may need.

I'm going with the KYB adjustables with H&R Race Springs. It's a 2.25,2.5 drop. How bad is this going to throw my camber off? Am I definately going to need a camber kit? Any reccomendations?

Also, After this I'm going to be kinda tight on "wasting" money with the wife, lol, however are sway bars and LCA's and crap really going to make a difference for me?

camber is always a good idea to adjust. ingalls is the kit of choice for me. skunk2 and eibach also make sets.

strut bars will make a different, lcas...not so much, they are mostly a bling factor.

[CivicBeater]

gotcha. Now I see some people just do front or rear kits and some do both. In my case what do you forsee me needing to do?

[candymanjl]

yeah you'll need a camber kit fo sho

[accordy2g]

Do the front and rear camber kit. I use ingalls kit. Check ebay for the civics the ingalls and skunk2 kits are cheap.

[CivicBeater]

cool deal. I'll have to check ingalls out

No camber kit on mine, tire wear is fine then again i'm not using H&R's. LCA's won't do anything for you. As for strut bars I would get cheap set's from ebay, they all do the samething. I would really really look into getting a larger rear sway bar, that will help your handling greatly.

[candymanjl]

for like $80 - $100 shipped you can get front and rear upper and lower strut bars, just polished aluminum, like Al said they're all the same and you can save some bling.

[CivicBeater]

gotcha. cool deal. I've been searching on ebay and there is so many different types of strut bars can you guys post a link to something on ebay that would be what you guys reccomend. There is soooooo much to choose from and I don't know what is actually too cheezy or not.

[candymanjl]

actually your Si should have a front upper one stock, if that's not there then just look for a stock one and use that. honestly the front upper one is the only one I ever noticed a difference with, the rest are just cool to have when they're not that much money. if my connection wasn't so slow right now I'd look for you but I'm sure they wouldn't be hard to find and be pretty cheap.

[CivicBeater]

yeah, my si has the stock upper front one. If I were to get a rear one does it go inside the trunk?

[Almighty-Si]

Yes, again nothing fancy. Get the cheapest one unless the look matters.

[CivicBeater]

rear strut tower bar the same as rear sway bar? sorry for all the newb ?'s

[Almighty-Si]

No, rear sway is under the rear of the car, connects at the sub frame to the lower control arms. It will help rotate the rear of the car so it doesn't push as bad.

No, rear sway is under the rear of the car, connects at the sub frame to the lower control arms. It will help rotate the rear of the car so it doesn't push as bad.

gotcha. Did you replace your sway bar's? I'm probably going to go ahead and order the rear upper strut if you guys think it will help. I'm just trying to find one that doesn't look too too cheezy. I'll do the rear sway bar and lca's after I get it lowered. With that said I found a deal that I have to wait and see if it comes through on kyb's and neuspeeds. I'll know in 2 days. I just can't wait to git r done!! :)

[Almighty-Si]

No haven't done it yet...it is the next thing on my list though. I have too much work too finish up right now and still need to get a clutch and LSD.

[CivicBeater]

heheh 10-4.

i think the nicest rear strut bar that I wouldn't mind installing is an NRG. abiout $58 shipped

[Almighty-Si]

That's not too bad. I wouldn't even spend that much, it's just a bar that really you won't see that much, up to you though.

[CivicBeater]

true true.

This is a cheaper one but I'm kinda neglecting it because it says "type r" on the bar. hehe Kinda ghey but the actual bar looks pimp. and the type r is in the form of the ctr style sooo I don't know. Not sure. lol http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-CIVIC-96-00-97-98-99-TYPE-R-REAR-STRUT-TOWER-BAR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33591QQihZ016QQitem Z260065182409QQrdZ1
