Default 2nd Gen integra tucking badly! help!

Hey everyone, I just picked up a DB2 and it's lowered on Eibach springs, my tires are tucking a little in the rear and although it looks cool, i'm worried i'm gonna get some nasty camber wear. Any suggestions for a fix? Should I get a camber kit or just different springs?

DA that are lower eat thru tires like mad. I would at least do the washer trick in the rear. The front isn't so huge of a deal from what I remember. Must be something about DA's.

And do what adjust rear toe? Unless he has a rear camber kit a alignment is a waste of time.

I can't imagine your integra is tucking tire with a tame lowering spring drop. Even Sportlines only net you a 1.5 inch drop in the rear. As long as your toe is dead on I wouldn't even worry about tire wear from that small drop.

Put washers between the upper control arm and the wheel well. Otherwise if you don't wanna stress your bolts I've got some adjustble upper control arms I'll sell cheap

Thanks for the advice, i'll probably just do the washer trick for now since i'm broke but how much do you want for the control arms?
