First off I drive a 99 Honda Accord EX Coupe and I just bought a set of Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs.

I spent quite a while looking up Eibach Pro Kit springs in the archived posts and have come to the conclusion from reading all those posts that camber is not the problem, but toe is and that's what eats away at your tires. I have two questions:

1) Do I immediately need new shocks? I hear that Koni Yellows are good adjustable shocks.
2) I know that I need to adjust my "toe" settings. How is this done? Will this be done when I get an alignment?

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

You don't need new shocks right away but they are recommended. Your stock shocks won't hold up too long. Yes, an alignment will fix toe and camber (if adjustable).

camber will eat tires but only as you get to and beyond the -2 mark

I had a pro kit put on m coupe and did not need a camber kit. toe was adjusted with the alingment. I had new shock put on at the time becuase I had 150k + on my stocks.

stock shock are fine for now...you prolly gonna need koni or agx later on...koni yellow is the sh_t~
go have a four wheel aligment(ask for spec sheet and toe/camber correction)
AFTER 2 week, you need to let it settle.

alignment after the initial install? or after it settles?

I would wait a lil while for the springs to settle. Usually takes about a week or so depending on how much you drive.

Ok so I guess I'll wait about week and a half and then get the alignment done. I''ve noticed that most people have Koni Yellows so I'll look into them. Thanks for all the info.

I put about 15k miles on my pro-kits and konis before I had an alignment done and had 0 tirewear issues. Maybe I just got lucky, but Id say don't worry about it too much. if the car drives straight and the tires aren't wearing unevenly, you can't be too far off.

Just thought I'd update on the install. I just got my springs installed and it doesn't seem that there is any camber problem or not much at least. Also, the alignment seems ok but we'll see after the spring settles. By the way, my fat lady doesn't roll anymore! I love the feel of the car. Now I need a strut bar, but we'll see. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for all the info again.

let it settle for 1-2 week at least.
pro kit are great, almost like oem
btw grab a cl-s sway bar if you can(for 6th gen)
