Default Negative Camber Question!

Does anyone know how bad my camber would be with a 2" drop on a dc2?
Should I get a front and rear camber kit?

It wont be that bad. You can use the washer trick for the rears, and buy a set for only the fronts. If you dont want to spend, rotate the tires often. HTH

get an alignment after you drop it. toe out destroys tires faster than negative camber.

thats why i don't think the camber kit is a necessity. I understand the whole toe in and contact patch thing when lowering the car, I think the rotation and alignment thing is the most important tip. thanks guys!

camber will eat your tires up on the inside as well...if i could do it over again..alignment right away, camber kit in the front, and keep rotating the tires !!!

Default camber

Doing an alignment and frequent tire rotations only remedy the problem.They don't solve it.
Remember that during an alignment the tech can only adjust the camber/Caster/Toe if the car has those adjustable parts(camber kit)etc.
Most Hondas don't have stock camber adjustments.
