Default lowered prelude

Alright I have a 99 Prelude and its lowered about 2 inches and I guess when they lowered my car it made the wheels turn in so the tires get worn down alot quicker. And I guess thats really common. Im not sure I dont know alot about cars so sorry if I sound a bit amatuer. Well i hear there is some kind of kit you can buy to fix it. Does anyone know whats it called and how much it costs? Thanks!

or just have your tires turned/rotated, when the inside starts to wear on mine, i just have them turned so the outside becomes the inside but im only dropped like 1 inch.

but with 2 or more inches lower its good to get a camber kit.

There is 2 different kinds of kits, depending on the Degree of camber you need...
Get a alignment first to see what degree you are off..

yeah cottenwoodz is right, you might want a different kit for the back or vice versa.

btw like cottonwoodz already said there are two different kinds and they can be used interchangaebly...i got 2 sets of part # 35730 these give u the most range.

Additionally, You may also want to save your money first, and go get your toe angle set. I have a '98 I dropped 2" as well, and my camber stayed fine, alignment stayed fine, but my tires were toed in pretty significantly. You cxan adjust your toe yourself, or take it to a shop, and they should do it for you for cheap.
