Re: Honda Civic changing out camber
 

As long as the car is not modified (ie. lowered) you will not need a camber
kit. Just pay to get an alignment.

Re: Honda Civic changing out camber
 

Thanks all for your input...especially E. Meyer...he's always responded to
anything I post. Also, Mista Bone...thanks for letting me know about
"someone doing a minor curbcheck"....perhaps, I should ask the
wife..."honey, how dare you run across the curb and not tell me about
it...it's costing us tires..??..LOL..."..remember, I said it was the wife's
car...I dare not mention the curbcheck !!

Maybe it's time we got her the CRV that she's got her eyes on...this Civic's
paid it's due !!

Will get it aligned right at the time I get (4) new tires and see if she
still wants it (say in Nov !!).

Thanks all of you again.
