I have a 90 Accord 2 door DX. I installed Neuspeed Race Springs on my stock struts 2.25" front 2.0" rear. I took it had it aligned and they could get the Toe in spec. but the camber is about -3.5 degree off in the front. We also noticed that the upper control arm is extremely close to the top of the fender well on the inside towards the frame. Has anyone ever had this problem and any fixes for it. I know i need a Camber kit but Im thinking that upper control arm is still extremely close to the fender well/ frame.. What can be done to fix this problem??

Thanks

i have a 95 accord and i put on apex ws dampners a camber kit i had it droped about 3 inches and the camber kit pushed out the upper control arms so when the car came off the lift the ridge on the inside of the fenders was sitting ontop of the uppercontrol arms so i had to cut away part of the fender to get them to clear. but then they were still hitting the top of the wheel well so i blew out both of my ball joints. those were expensive to replace. i say cmber kits are garbage, you will burn through tires pretty quick, but hey your car will handle better.

As far as shocks, Koni is probably the best brand out there, IMO. Other brands are very reputable, but everyone seems to go towards Koni. Kind of topic, but I have a '96 Accord Cpe. that's been lowered for about a year now. It looks great, but I am just not pleased with the drop in the rear. I have about a fingers width gap in the front, and about 2 fingers width in the rear. What was/is the gap in the rear with the Neuspeed Race spings you have. I would like my car to sit level and reduce the gap in the rear to equal the front.

i had this problem with my 90 ex. when i got the camber kit on, the upper control arms were bangin the inside of my fender. All i did was get a grinder and shave a little off and it didn't knock anymore.
