Location: Auckland | EK4 Camber with Spoon Prog Springs. Hi I am going to install Spoon progressive springs into my SIR EK4 Civic using the factory shocks. I am wondering if I will have problems with tyre wear due to excessive camber? Will I require an adjustable camber kit or are they only needed if the car is really low? I believe the springs lower the car 10-20mm depending on what you read. Spoon describe the springs as "designed to provide optimal ride height and camber, while working in conjunction with stock dampers." Can I believe this? Thanks in advance Chris |

Location: Auckland | Re: EK4 Camber with Spoon Prog Springs. It wont stress your camber that much. Its hardly the sort of drop to even worry about camber. You'll be fine, a wheel alignment as mentioned by Horny Devil will be of an advantage to make sure other settings in the alignment are in good shape which could also affect your tyre wear. |
