hi all after getting a bargain of rob for my springs do ineed to buy the front drop links only to do the springs thanks

The drop links will need replacing and will set you back about £25 also camber bolts around £25 and then a decent garage to adjust them. Camber bolts are essential or you'll ruin your tyres

 

[smig64]

just ordered the camber bolts was gona order one of those camber gauges that stick on your discs would that not do the trick with the camber settings

 

[Jonnyrocket]

Tbh I've never seen one. For peace of mind ill be going to tdi or abp with mine to get sorted. You dont want tyres that look like this

 

[coste1l]

you need todisconnect the drop links to do the springs, for the sake of £20 i would change the droplinks even if they arent goosed but i will bet they are

 

[Jonnyrocket]

Mine were in good condition and came off easily, but they'd never have gone back on. It's definitely worth replacing them. Fit the springs yourself and you'll save a fortune but get a decent garage to finish the job.

thanks guys will be fitting them myself the camber gauge i seen on here somewhere it has a magnetic end you put onto disk then adjust the camber bolt to correct setting they only 20 quid worth it i suppose

Is this right? if you fit the Eibach lowering springs, you have to fit drop links and camber bolts and get them set up. I thought it was a simple swap.

Mind you, my son fitted Tein springs on his ep3 type r and it goes through front tyres in less than 10k miles!

think the drop links are more of a why you there do them as sometimes you need to cut off the drop link as the threads and bolt sieze a bit its just if you struggling and you break one your stuck as for the camber bolts i was the same aint heard of these before i bought the civic just used to go n get tracking done afterwards i will get the drop links just incase tho

 

[coste1l]

you dont need the camber bolts but if you do fit them it allows the tracking to be set to run some negative camber improving cornering ability even more. its not a must have but as you need to get the tracking done anyway and the camber bolt replaces one of the bolts you will have taken out anyway then why not do it?

 

[smig64]

agree buddy i am replacing them hopefully fit them this weekend just looking for a new set of allys at the same time

Fair point, when I order my springs, i`ll order the camber bolts, thanks.
