Default HR Sports-Kyb Agx?

I have a 96 Accord sedan and plan on using h&r sports with kyb agx shocks and a goldline front camber kit. This setup is cheap and should work well for my application. I plan on going to the track 2-3 times this summer and the dragstrip 1 time. It has to be a daily driver until next winter. Any thoughts?

you want to go lower than race? Well my friend bought 94accordDX's boosted accord and it had h&r race springs. That thing was the lowest accord i have ever seen. Camber was outta control. I think for an accord h&r sports will be suitable.

I had the same setup minus camber kit on my old 96 sedan too. Handled awesome with ST rear sway bar, solid upper strut bars, and gutted interior. Little to no roll, springs compliment the shocks great, but slight understeer thanks to bald tires.

I have this setup on my 91 LS, but with an SPC camber kit. It rides nice, but make sure you get new bump stops.

EDIT: i have sports, btw

those drops are WAY too low for the KYB AGX, I don't know much about Accords, but lack of suspension travel comes to mind w/ those drops.
