Default CTR Spoiler and about lowering

I recently put down cdn $5 deposit for a CTR rear roof spoiler that the store is clearing out for $250 brand new, unpainted of course. The spoiler is a replica as well. The owner is a friend of my friend so he was really nice and all and said I could come back whenever to pick it up (I told him in a month). Other than the great service, you think that was a good price considering he said he sells it normally for $350? I'm gonna have it painted by my dad in the spring time and install it on then.

I wanna lower my car as well but want to go the cheap way by just getting Neuspeed sport springs and use the stock shocks. From experience with my brothers 2000 SiR, the tread on his tires has worn down considerablely by him lowering it. Now by installing camber kits, would that alleviate the problem? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciative.

you betcha. That's why they're made . Anyways, you can do the back with just a longer bolt and a bunch of washers, there's info abounds on here about it, so that's a cheap fix. The front however, you'll have to buy a kit... skunk2, eibach, and ingalls all make camber correction devices.

My brother did use the bolt and washer trick to change the camber on his SiR. So basically on a 99 hatch, can I use the same method?

you can, but upon review of a schematic you may find what I did, the rear bolts are threaded into basically white metal and not the frame, so adding that much more leverage with washers and less turns on the bolt could be dangeorus.

So that is what a camber kit looks like..thanx inspyral.

Fujiware: So you're telling me I should not use the washers but only the bolt. Now is this information specific to Civic models other than the Si (Sir)?
