Car is lookin' good man. I'm picking up a red CRX almost EXACTLY like yours tomorrow. Gonna have to spray the drivers side fender red too. What color did you go with? Looks like it matches stock pretty well.

And after lots of work with the wheels i also did my calipers(some may think its ricey but i think it looks pretty good) and i raised my coilovers a little bit until i get a camber kit. I hate camber wear, and since i like these tires i wanna take care of em. But as soon as i get a camber kit my shits gonna be draggin sack. Thats all for today kidz.

camber doesnt eat tires toe does. camber kits are a waste of money.

When you lower a car the tires toe out AND you get negative camber. The toe out destroys tires FASTER than the negative camber. Fix the toe out only and the tires are still going to wear fast and unevenly due to the negative camber. Saying that camber wear is a myth is retarded. You can run crazy negative camber and be fine as long as you rotate your tires regularly; but it should be blatantly obvious that as long as you're running negative camber you're going to wear your tires faster than a car that's perfectly aligned with 0 camber.
