Default Camber Kit???

Ok I just installed the Eibach Sportlines onto my 95 Accord EX. The drop was def. what I was looking for, but when I took it in to get an allignment the guy is telling me I need a camber kit. I was told it would most likely be ok with these springs. Is it possible to just do the allignment and get away with it. I mean I will be switching to winter tires in the winter anyways, and then back and forth like that. I would rather not spend the money, but if i have to I will. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't remember how much the sportlines drop the car. If it's not more than 2" then you shouldn't need a camber kit.

I think you could go without the camber kit, but your tires are gonna wearout faster.

I think they dropped just under two inches. There is defintley a negative camber there, but I think they could correct it a little with an allignment. I really dont want to have to spend the money. How bad/dangerous is it to drive with the negative camber. I use my car for a daily driver.

OK thanxs man! Do you have any recommendations, on what type to buy! I saw some on ebay that were fairly cheap, but I dont really know what to look for. Also is the installation easier than doing the springs themselves, because that was a bit of a pain :-) Thank you for your input!

If somone could take a look on Ebay and tell me what kits would work for my car. When I search Camber Kit Accord.... A few show up! one from Drop Zone, looks like a decent price, the eibach ones are way more expensive, and then there is some cheaper R1 Racing ones. What kit would i be smart to go with?

ingalls is another brand you might want to look into. but definitely get a set for the front cus in the long run you'll save $$ on tires. and use the washer trick for the rear

i just used an ebay one... all the backs are are just two longer bolts with some washers... but the fronts i used took the place of the block things on the uper wishbone piece.. it came with new bushings and everything.. i think i paid like 100 for it... but it was worth it...

i got ingalls, and they went in pretty easily with a little persuasion. i got them from ultrarev and paid a total of 100 bucks or somewhere around there

Sportlines lower the 94-94 Accord 1.7 and 1.5.I have them on my 94 Accord sedan and running 17's w/205-40-17's and the front tires are ate up on the inside,but looking from the front,you can barely see any negative camber.The rears wear well though.I don't really like the anchor bolts from what I've heard,the adjustable ball joints seem like a better way to go to me.
