yeah i just put coilovers on my crx. it rides like ***. prohectteg is correct in the bounce department. the only real benefit is letting big titted women ride with me. i had to though, it was riding on accord springs a struts, so i was blinding even the truck drivers with my angle of attack.

negative camber actually helps handling
yeah, during cornering, but what about the rest of the time

Thanks bambooseven for the detailed instructions. As far as those O-rings go, the kit came with a freaking lot of them, how many should I use?

just use three, make sure they are the same size. put them on the strut like 1.5" above where you want them to sit, then roll them down with the sleeve.

if the negative camber is bad enough it will affect high speed stability, although, i doubt you would notice much on the freeway unless you like 130+mph speeds on a regular basis

not to mention contact surface, which means less tire touching the road, not too good for rain.

4 hours and I got them all on dropped 3 and 1/2 inches. Didn't use spring compressors, just braced it against a curb and nothing flew anywhere. Also my shocks look almost new the previous owner must have replaced them so the ride seemed pretty good. Not bad for a first timer
