Default dumb question

I just got an alignment cuz I bought a new rims.

JUST curious Do i need an alignment again after i lower my car with coil over or lowering springs?

Thinking of getting skunk2 coilover with camber kits and just save up money for a high quality shock. I have read it somewhere accord stock shocks can survive 1.5 years when lowered. i dont want to buy the whole setup cuz thats crazy $1300(sturt/shocks..coilover..camber kits).

i am a noob so dont trip!

coilover to struts shocks Ratio

quality coiover to very high quality shocks
whats a good combination?

what do u guys mean coiover are bouncy? i mostly drive in freeway thats it and i have heavy car 4 doors.

Cant make up my mind.

You did not need an alignment after buying new rims.

Yes, you need an alignment again after you lower your car.

I can't understand the rest of your thread.

i got coilovers on my 94 honda 4 door.. it is very bumpy. i have also heard of coilovers stripping threads and not being able to adjust them ne more.. when i get the money im goin to get the whole kit and i suggest the same or reguallar springs. dont get coilovers if u want a shi**y ride.. i hate it but im not goin through taking it all apart again to put the stock springs back on.. plus it makes the car look nice till u hit a bump at 35+ and hit ur head on the roof.. it gets old after a while.. but it does handle a lot better

for camber kits ...........
1.)if i just get the front one..would that be ok ???
why does camber kit cost to much argghhhh

Future mods: in the next few weeks
Ingalls camber kit only front for a while
H&R sport springs Front and back

I have heard people who have accord with H&R sport spring works with stock shocks for a while 1-2 years just a little bit bounce but the spring are good and stiff. Also i have read that they get about 2.2F drop instead of 1.5 F drop.

I got about 3 inch gap in my 17's. really need to put it down soon its embarasing. lol.

After i save some money 3-5 months
ill get a very good racing shocks and struts.
and remote starter.
