Hi,
I have a question about my suspension on my 95 civic hatch. I put a camber kit in the front when I thought I would keep the lowered springs that were on the car when I bought it. After too many clearance issues with my charge pipes and traction bars, I changed back to my factory springs. Things looked a little off, so I measured the distance from the top lip of the fender well to the ground and the car is lower on one side than the other. Could this be due to my camber/castor/toe settings being horribly off? I want to know if i have to buy new springs before I get the car aligned, so I'm not doing it twice.
Thanks for the help. Oh yeah, i thought leaving the camber kit in would be a good idea so that the alignment guy has more movement in setting up the suspension. Is this ok?

 

Most alignment guys will just get confused by the aftermarket alignment kits for imports, and if they do adjust them, most will charge a lot, and still will put it back to factory specs,

Save yourself a hassle, and switch back to factory parts if you're keeping your factory springs.

I imagine if the camber is very different on one side, it could easily make the one side seem higher.

 

That is very true, it was a real big bitch to find a guy to align the car when it was lowered. Maybe i'll just put the factory mounts back in and sell the camber kit.

 

Good idea.
