i lowered my 96 gsr with koni yellow + HR sport. it has some camber, but don't know how much off.

Question #1. It dropped about 2 inches on the driver side and about 1.75" on the passenger side. what happened?

Q #2. i'm running 17" wheels. whenever i goes over lets say 120, i felt only 3/4 of the tire is on the road. this do not happen to my 15". Why?

also looking for front and rear camber kit. what are u guys using? where can i get them and price will be nice..

thank you guyz for reading..

did you use the front springs on the passenger side and the rear springs on the drivers side?

i'm sure i had the spring installed right.

could it be, i hit more bumps with the driver side wheels? ty

Driver side is heavier with the motor and driver located there.

I don't realy understand what you are trying to say in the second question.

I've heard of springs settling weird when there is almost always only the driver in the car. If you have driven solo a lot after getting your springs then this could be the case and cause the driver's side to be lower. I can't say for sure but I remember hearing that if you put some weight on your passenger side for a while the spring should settle equally there too. Not 100% sure if that works, someone else would know better but if they are new that could be the problem, if they are old lowering springs then I dunno.

In the second question I believe he's asking if it's because he hits more bumps with the driver side.

How long have you had your springs/shock installed? Reason I ask is because springs normall take about 2 weeks to rest. I'm not an expert on this, but I'm just trying to help and toss ideas out there.

sorry English is my sec language.
ok, let's try again.

when my car speed reached 120km/h. the stearing wheel felt very light. felt like do not have much control. or u can say no response. it do not happen with 15". is this a camber problem?

has it always been lower on the drivers side?
Ever since it was first done?
Or did this just happen recently?

People say you should get a camber kit if you are lower than 2". My car is lowered 1.8" front and back and is still within honda's specifications, so i don't use a camber kit.

And integra-r if you got them installed last year then the springs should of settled a long time ago. So ignore my reply, it won't answer anything. As far why it does this with the 17" wheels and not the 15's, i have no clue. sorry

koni yellow has height adjustment of the spring perch. I'm willing to bet that your driver and pass sides are not set equally or there has been some damage to the perches.

secondly, if the above is true, that explains a lot of your handling issues. the handling issues could also be a result of poor alignment (namely a toe or caster problem). camber problems are not really noticable while driving. it could also be a wheel offset problem, but it seems less likely in your case.

lastly, I use Omnipower camber kits front and back, they are available from john lo who is one of our TCC Vendors. john lo is his username here on the forum. you can send him a PM.

After you get the camber done, check your perch height on the shocks, and then have the car aligned. Also make sure the shocks are seated in the forks entirely and fully and that the pinch bolts are installed properly.

yesterday, I removed the wheel and check it out. it is NOT unside down, and it is a front spring. spring defect?? maybe have to increase the perch by 1 up. and i found my aligment sheet from last year.
Front camber: LEFT- HONDA spec: -1.16 ----- 0.84 (my car -1.75 degree)
RIGHT -HONDA spec: -1.16 ---- 0.84 (my car -2.19 degree)

Rear camber: Left honda -2.00 ------------ my car -1.34 degree
right honda -2.00 ------------ -1.52 degree

DO I NEED A CAMBER KIT? if yes, where can i get a set for good price? ty
