I lowered my 2005 Honda accord 4 door 2 days ago. I used a Tanabe DF210 lowering springs which dropped the front by 1.8" and back 1.7". I also have a 18 in rims, dimensions are 225/18/40. I recently noticed that my rear wheels are "butterfly" or tilted.

* Do i need to buy a camber kit to correct the problem? If i do install the camber kit and corrects the problem i'm worried that my inside fender would rub on my tires. PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

are they tilting like this: /-----\ if you're facing the car from the back?

If thats the case yes i think you would need a camber kit. Also after lowering your car you usually need a wheel alignment as well.

How much of a gap do you have between the tire and the fender now? I wouldn't think with that kind of drop you would have an issue with rubbing, but i have a 6thgen and the stock gap is pretty different from the 7thgen i guess...

 

After lowering, wait 50 miles and get it aligned to make sure the springs have dropped to their full position. If your wheels are tilting in its just because of it being lowered. Im lowered like 2.25 inches all the way around and my wheels are straight get your car aligned seriously. It wont rub. I have 17's with 225/45/17 which are pretty big tires for an accord lowered that much. my wheel liners got ripped out in the front though because the tires are so wide. Youll be fine. Keep me updated to see if the alignment works out.

At least get an aligment. I've only needed camber kits when goning lower then 1.5 so you'd probably be boarder line.
