I've been usin my stockers the whole time I have had it lowered but I think they are finally going out. I came outta work last week and saw a bit of oily jizz on my rim so I was like "That's either brake fluid or my shocks are goin." My brakes still work so must be my shocks. I'm gonna get some AGX adjustables next time I get paid cause I can get em for wholesale through the Acura dealer next door to my job. 2 of the techs over there have B18 and B16 swapped civic's and one is turboed with the other one on the way to being turboed. One of those dudes told me I could get the shocks for 40 something $'s from the back counter so I was like "HELL'S YEAH MUFUCKA!" LOL! I for one will be glad though, when my exhaust gets in finally!! Been waitin over a f**kin month already but at least I finally found a shop that is reputable.
You gotta see this guy's turbo Si with one of FULL-RACE's setups on it. http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=40771&highlight=full-race

P.S.- OH s**t! I also forgot that my Skunk2 rear strut bar is hopefully gonna be shipped out tomorrow so I can hope that gets here by the end of the week! :twisted: :headbang: :banana: :drive:

I always thought you would want to have slight toe in so that you would still have good grip in the corners? Maybe it's toe out, I can't remember which way it goes. LOL!

so, I drove it home from work and my left front tire is rubbin when I turn that way. Time for some new shocks. I think both my left sides are pretty much gone cause the car is leaning that way a bit more than on the right. I can get some KYB 5 way adjustables for like $40 something from my work so I'm gonna have em order those for me tomorrow. Hopefully I can get em on next week.

The camber angle identifies how far the tire slants away from vertical when viewed directly from the front or back of the vehicle.



The toe angle identifies the exact direction the tires are pointed compared to the centerline of the vehicle when viewed from directly above.



so like a said along time ago toe f**ks your tires.
