my roomate has a 99 4 door GSR...hes got 18's on it and wants to lower it 2inches...does he need a camber kit for goin that low...local people say yes some say no... rims are for sale to btw...5zigen 14 lbs rims

 

Yes. Without question.

I'm only lowered by about 1.5" and I'm right on the cusp of the allowable camber range (-1.3°F, -0.7°R).

If he's going to shell out the bucks for 205-35/18 tires.. it's absolutely worth it to buy a quality camber kit and do it the right way.

 

well, he should be more concerned with toe than camber. in other words, get it aligned after the springs have settled. if he stays on top of tire rotations after an alignment, he can get away without a camber kit (for a 2" drop) as far as i'm concerned.

btw, did you tell him yet that 18s on an integra looks stupid?

 

I agree about the 18's lol. If you get the car professionally aligned after a suspension drop, is a camber kit still required? Thanks.

 

^ The shop will still need the camber kit to align the car.

 

I wouldn't even lower on 18's. Especially on an Integra. It is gonna rub and if he thinks it rides rough now, shit...wait until he drops it.

 

it deffinitly wont rub because the kid he bought the rims off of had the same car and had it lowered 3 inches...so im thinkiing it wont rub on 2 inchs

 

2" w/. 18s is going to rub like a bitch.

I have HR sports on my car now and the tires wear really bad, which is why I am adding in upper adjustable control arms for the front and rear. This weekend I will snap pics of my tires when I swap my suspension so you guys can see how bad they are.

 

whast the diff in the size of the rims???? either if u have 18 or the stock 15s the hieght of the rim an tire combo are goin to be the same.

 

Not necessarily. My buddy's wife had an Integra GS, same year as my GSR. We were both dropped on H&R Sports with stock shocks, she had 18's and I have stock blades. She rubbed really bad and I have never done so.
