some places sell shims for the rear stub axle
the shim will bolt in-between the stub and the beam
you can change camber and toe with these shims
http://www.specprod.com/PROD_DIR/PROD_PASSCAR.HTML
if you lower the vehicle you sill need to get the alignment measured first
then order and install the shims
the go back for another alignment
onetonegarage.com sells spacers for the rear wheels (approx. 10mm)
these will not change camber
some people on this site are selling JDM camber shims for the rear but they are pricey and do not correct toe
is the vehicle lowered or are you just trying for the VIP look???????

People that so veraciously advocate "SEACHING" only make the forums seem pointless. This forum was not only made for the gathering of eunthsiasts, it was also created for those who have questions ot have them ANSWERED with an intelligent response. Simply saying search ruins any purpose these forums have. I do, however, take into consideration that you also explained ALONG with saying "SEACH," unlike many people who just say search. [end rant]

Yeah i often ask myself the same thing i try to post as much and help as much too. i figure the forum is here to help people those who know little or a lot. i hate when people have the time and effort to say go "search" or they say you can find it "here" when in fact it would have taken the same amount of characters to just tell you... i guess people will always power trip or be a poor socially. but thanks man...

Anyhow well my car is lowered on Tein Basics and the reason I ask is because I like my rides low and well have my coils bottomed out. i am running 205x50x15 on 15x8 (10) in the rear. I am already stretching the tire and have cut out about 1/4" of the inner fender at the rear. I am almost free and clear with no rubbing (with 4 people in the car, 2 people no problem no more work needed). But basically the problem with the bB's is that the rear is not independent so basically there is no camber where in most cars negative camber will take effect when the car is lowered and push the rims into the wheel well... and then to further clear people go jap/d1 style and get the smaller tires and stretch them.
For me I stretched mine for a) the look and b) to clear the fender but i am not clearing enough. as i said i cut the fender and well are looking for other options. i don't want to raise the coils (love dumped cars), and i intended the offset and size to be this way for this particular look as well, in the worse case only cruise with 3 people max. Anyhow here is what i mean...

What about the front? I wanted to lower my xb like 2.5 inches and thought i would need a camber kit to fix the negitive camber(like my old Honda)? I have some spendy tires that i dont want to ruin from excessive negative camber. Do I need to buy a camber kit with my springs or not?

no neg camber from lowering xB . cuscu plates up front or bolts could alter it a bit but you wouldnt need it.
if you want neg camber for the rear pm "mybox" he sells the jdm ones in varying degrees of camber from 2 degrees to 10 degrees. one ton is supposedly on the way of making the camber shims
