Josh,

Get the camber kit put it on with the springs set at the height u want them at, then get the car alligned. I would think that would be your best bet.

BTW, my name is Josh too

I just dropped my Si with GCs (and konis). It's sitting at no wheel gap in the front, and in the back the tire is slightly in the wheel well. Looks great, feels great, and is great, but yeah, I'm also getting about 3 degrees of negative camber. That's no good. So, I'll be gettin' a camber kit in a few days (before my tires are already gone!). And I think I'll be raising my car about...hmm...I think an inch, 'cause I'm nervous about messing up something on the bottom of the car on a really rough bump...I've already had a few rather violent bumps. I didn't like it. But yeah, the shop's callin' me on monday w/ a price on the camber kit. Then I'll install that bad boy. I'll have pics in a few days.

I thought the rear was self correcting camber? :confused:

Self correcting?

Shoot, if my camber would self correct itself, maybe I'd drop my car another 2 inches =)

'til then, I gotta install a darn camber kit.
