Default 1999 Accord Lowered S-Techs...Will I NEED a Camber Kit?

Hello all,

lowered my car with s-techs for 1.7" drop in the rear, and a 1.8" drop in the front.

anyone know if a standard alignment on stock control arms can fix the negative camber with the lowered rear or front?

Or, will I need to get a camber kit.

Also, does anyone have an FAQ on using washers / etc to push the camber out a bit as an alternative to getting a kit?

thanks...just looking for fellow 6g owners with experience.

The rear tires on 6th gens like to camber quickly when lowering the car. I have the same drop (with Neuspeed Sports), and my rear camber was around -2.5 degrees before installing the rear camber kit, which, btw, I already had purchased. The front will sit at about -1.0 degree w/o a camber kit, give or take .2 degrees, assuming that you don't have any bent/damaged suspension parts. This is within factory specs...

I would say to get just the rear kit. The front would be at your discretion.

You can usually find rear camber kits for about 100 US dollars, not including shipping charges. Front camber kits can range anywhere from 100 to 250 US dollars, depending on the type of kit that you get.
