SPOON LOWERING SPRINGS on my FK8 CIVIC TYPE R First Impressions!

[@ell0jell013]

Cam drive in your comfort zone. Push yourself as you see fit. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you need to drive more aggressively than you feel comfortable. It’s not a competition! Save it for the track!

[@diallo1347]

I 100% agree. Enjoy the drive. It's not fun if you're worried about dying and leaving your wife a widow/single mom.

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

You can make it competition but know that nobody is going to be really good at it the first few times. It’s a combination of skill, experience, and risk taking. You can compensate with one for the other to go faster but it takes all three to be within the top 1% of fastest people on that road….and frankly it’s nothing to brag about anyways.

[@rickeybradley2635]

Holy crap Cam, that looks amazing. Best decision you've made on the FK8. Well done!!!

[@allyance8846]

Oh that's like the perfect ride height, looks sweet! Also, drive safe and in your comfort zone. Had a blast watching the video and absolutely agree with the last part.

[@BigSpoonWill]

Honestly Spoon Progressive springs is good enough of a drop without scraping. You can have full passengers and still be good to go. The Dragon is drive at your own pace. If you’re slow, you can pull off and let the others go but don’t over drive if you aren’t ready. Concerning the steering wheel being off, wait till you do an alignment before you try to take off the steering wheel. If it’s still off, you will need take off the steering wheel and turn the wheel a couple notches to the left. I just did my install on my S2000 and ended up removing the hub 2-3 times to get it perfect.

[@prestontoepper8740]

These last few videos have been awesome.

[@Camhill182]

Thanks 😄

[@Max-of4oe]

I agree with you at the end cam. there are so many cars I think are cool that majority of people would hate on.

[@Camhill182]

I like a ton of shit boxes. 90's Chevy Impala SS, Ford Taurus SHO, obviously the Bonneville SSEi and GXP, the Saturn Ion Redline, C4 Corvette, all that old stuff you don't really see anymore

[@Blackhammers69]

CamHSquad🔥🔥🔥 we on a roll!😂

[@robbann8160]

Hey, you should get an alignment, when they put the rigid collar and changed the springs it changed the parameters of suspension. Alignment is definitely needed. Nice video, the car looks great.

[@Mk7_kev]

^ Always get an alignment after doing suspension work

[@XOX-fs4ww]

Always let the car settle for a few weeks before getting an alignment

[@isaacstephen5332]

Just bought my first car a few months ago, it’s a 2018 Hatchback Sport with a 6 speed a few months ago, next will definitely be a type r, absolutely love the vids man, keep ‘em rollin 🤙🏼

[@Camhill182]

Congrats on your first car!

[@josedelgado4186]

The bronze color of the wheels with the black looks badass. My Si has bronze wheels as well and I love it.

[@dz_gt500]

7:01 have you ever looked into the ats-v sedan/coupes? I’ve lowkey really wanted one as of recent. It’s more criminally underrated than the chevy ss. You can also get it in coupe/sedan form with a manual🙂

[@Dragonfly_Jones]

Man it looks so good with a drop! Thought you were gonna take the steering wheel thing to the grave. 😂. Get the rear motor mount, it’ll really change the feel of the car! Loving the content, man!

[@nhiathao1451]

Don't worry about what everyone say. You did good on Tale of the Dragon. Safety comes first, it was your first time.

[@rickeybradley2635]

They can fix your steering wheel when you get your alignment.

[@adobo8383]

Yup, an alignment will do him right and the car will handle even better.

[@gt4everson]

With the 255/40 does your car rub? Whats the offset on the wheels?

[@nicelikerice12311]

So many times ive gotten alignments and the shops say "yeahp, the alignment is spot on!" But i get in the car and have the wheel that little half degree off center. Drives me up a wall. What i end up doing is lengthening one tie rod and shortenting the other the exact same amount (count turns of the rod) and that way i keep the alignment but the relationship to the steering wheel is fixed. Hope that makes sense and i wasnt messing something up royally. It did the trick for me!

[@familysanders4540]

Def do videos on top 10 fav cars, 10 overrated cars, Dream car garage, etc. It’d be dope. FK8 looks WAY more sporty w the springs

[@Jesse.George]

I could never do that where I live I would scrape everywhere. I live in the Pennsylvania mountains and my 08 civic si was lowered and I scraped everywhere. I’m just leaving my type R on the factory springs. I will be getting it tuned tho. I currently have Greddy exhaust, PRL intake, BOV, Mishimoto intercooler and my next thing will be downpipe and hondata flash pro.

[@DYLAN1234]

honestly the people criticizing you are usually those who haven't grown up, 0 priorities and tend to base their personalities on a piece of metal with wheels

[@joepascua1264]

😂

[@Trino-un1zw]

Cam it is off alignment when you lower a car the suspension geometry changes you need to realign the car if the problem persist and there is no adjustment available for camber and toe then you need to get the adjustment kits

[@moochiezpitt]

Yay! Finally lowered. I did my A3 recently too and love it. My steering wheel is off to the right a bit also. But I try not to think about it.

[@XOX-fs4ww]

U need an alignment

[@Camhill182]

Where do you live?

[@raymondreiff8170]

I know what you're talking about especially living in Cen Wis, 🥶

[@jigneshpanchal4298]

I got my steering wheel installed by a honda specialist and they also said it can be off a little, even the stock wheels can be off a little. Its just the way it is. You can try taking it off but you may need to get the wheels re-aligned instead

[@GooberXGarage]

Will be at the firm racing for a team called Risen sponsored by Trey Staker at the firm this winter December 16! Hoping to see you there!

[@Shoookiez]

shesh finally looks so good miss my type r but ill have another one some day

[@raidersperez1278]

I was rubbing with 255/40. Had to get camber arms with -2.5 to clear and also cut my rear fenders. You should get the solid rear motor mount and you’ll feel way way more connected to car and the road through the shifter and steering wheel.

[@Camhill182]

Thats so weird that you were rubbing with those tires. I have yet to hear or feel any rub and we have shitty roads here

[@teriyakiterry]

I am running with 18x9.5 +38 rims, I wonder whether it's going to rub

[@andrewosimowicz3960]

If you haven’t done it already you should do a hasport rear motor mount. Relatively easy install and will definitely compliment the new springs & rigid collars

[@dixonvfitness1921]

Anyone know how to stabilize a type r wing on the 10th gen civic? It sometimes wobbles at high speeds on the highway.

[@AndresCastellanoss]

I hear about some people doing rear camber arms along with springs, what is the reason for that and is it necessary ?

[@scottarnold8637]

Cam I agree with you on the tail brother drive how you are comfortable I do let the haters run their crap off the mountain 😅😅

[@LPDarkSoulsHD]

Would you have still gone with these exact springs with the Titan7's? I'm about to sell my blobeye WRX and you best believe that money is going towards better wheels and tires for my FK8 😂.

[@Camhill182]

Yes I would. Expensive, but great

[@crxdrew4974]

Alignment will fix your steering wheel. Look forward to seeing you take your car to the track. I’ve tracked my type r 3 times and have way more fun at the track than on the streets.

[@imjeanhyppolite]

it looks great man, I love my lowered gr86

[@marcosgonzalez4882]

Why is your steering wheel pointing right when you’re driving straight?!?! I have the same problem on my fk8

It did that after i installed the mugen steering wheel

[@williamtarr9758]

Love the videos cam Friday can't come soon enough I get my 2020 fk8

[@walahmelons5504]

The rigid collars made the most noticeable different on my car. It allows the suspension/motor mounts to properly do their job. I'm not surprised if it feels like it shifts better since the subframe is properly aligned and the motor mounts are properly aligned now

[@walahmelons5504]

My car rode MUUUCH better after the collars as well

[@Nam087]

A lot of peopke on here said yo get an alignment to straighten the steering wheel. They dont get what you're talking about. I have same issue and trying to get it fix.

[@Camhill182]

Word. Yea it was like that after i installed the steering wheel

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

What happened to ac ?

[@wildairsoft1]

Did you notice the rigid collars making any difference, or just the springs? And don’t push yourself at the dragon harder than you’re comfortable.

[@two2022Hemis]

The warehouse of cars idea, it's very similar to my thinking. I can say this, if you ever roll through Phoenix, AZ, you're welcome to drop by and review my 22 Challenger 5.7 and 22 Charger 5.7. If the wife is home you can check her (my old) 2018 Q50S. Should have my 2004 C5 6-Speed back next year as well. That would be great content and expand your audience a little reviewing some American Muscle again. I found you searching Cobras (I liked that car fyi).

[@Camhill182]

Wow, you have some rock solid V8’s! I would totally be down for that

[@dauntlessracing4]

Did they fix the alignment after the springs? IF NOT, get it scheduled.

[@shainrichter3338]

Car looks absolutely amazing. I'm curious how you're liking the spoon rigid colors. I recently installed them in my garage on jack stands for my 2020 SI which was not too much fun. I was swapping out the front sway bar anyways so figured i'd get the most out of having the subframe dropped. I think they make a huge difference but a lot of people disagree.
