K, I've had a Neuspeed Sport lowering kit on my now for 2 years. I was just getting out my summer rims/tires and man, the insides are getting worn down. I thought that with the Neuspeed sport I wouldn't need a lowering kit? I did though put the rear DIY kit on, ya know washers and all. But I'm needin some new tires and don't want the same to happen to them. I've been lookin on Ebay and found a couple of different sets. OBX, yeah I know there not the best but will they do the trick? Here are a couple links. Which should I go with? And how much should I plan on gettin charged for the install? I do know a guy who might do it for pretty cheap, I'm hopin he's still around.

They probably will do the trick...but if you are going spend 100 bucks...go to Groupbuycenter.com and pick up som ingalls or skunk2 camber kits...those are some of the best on the market

i ordered my kit at summit racing for 350 bucks for front and rear...done the job good, but make sure you get a good alignment man after putting it on to adjust the camber to the right specs. i just put mine on last week myself, and i love not having any camber problems to worry about

I would just go with the front skunk2 kit and then use shims for the back, i installed the kit myself and had no problems very easy job to do so u can save some money that way.

personally, i would stay away from ebay and just buy some from a site for $50 more. i, and many other people have had bad experiences with the whole ebay thing. I'm going to have to get mine done too sometime, so tell me if you find some good, cheap ones. haha

It's lowered about 1.8 front and back. And I already did the washer trick on the back. Then had it aligned. I think I must have a toe problem?

no... you don't have a toe problem. someone on this site explained this to me. put your hand in front of you with your palms facing eachother. camber is when you move your thumbs closer together, by angling them. toe is when you move your fingers closer together of farther apart. i am not to good at explaining this, so if you are confused, i will find the post. anyways, when you get your car aligned, they only correct the toe. if you have a camber problem, which you probably do if your inside of the tires are woren, then go to tires plus. hopefully you have one by where you live, but it cost 187 for the camber kit, installation, and a full alignment.

here is how civic hatch explained it: "the best way to descride camber, toe and caster, is put your hands open infront of you with you plams facing each other. now tilt your thumbs inward or outwards, this is camber. now go back straight, put your finger tips closer or further together keeping your hands straight, so that they point inwards or outwards, this is toe, and if you point you fingers upwards of downwards this is caster.

if you look at the rear of a car and see the top of the tire leaning in or out then that is camber
if you look at the car from above and the front of the tires are pointing in or out then this is toe
if you look at the front steering knuckle and it point forward or to the rear then this is caster, caster isnt adjusted much unless you get into a accident the throws it off."

All I have in my area is Les Schwab. They are good guys but wanna charge $600+!! I'm gonna have them check the alignment. Thing is that for the first year it didn't do this. Then the second year after I lowered it, they started wearing. I talked to the alignment guy at Schwab and he said that his is lowered bout 2". He got his aligned, no camber kit mind you, and it was fine. Month later he checked it again and it was off. He said that if the camber is off they can't align it? Is this true? It's hard for me to believe that they can't align a car when the camber is out.
