Camber kit if you want to avoid inward tire wear from the lowering process. Just get them installed, and them have the car alligned as the toe in and the alignment will change on the front suspension.

If you are not going to run a camber kit, then the shocks and springs are all that you'll need.....

its probably a mislabel...any suspention will work from a 90-97 accord all models...in fact most are labeled that way

Tockico's website says "90-97 accord (including S/W exc. VTEC)" for the blues.

http://www.tokicogasshocks.com/car/appresults.asp

What do you make of that? I'd just email 'em and ask if they'll fit.....

I just called 'em, it appears that the rear shock perches are taller than the non-vtec models. So, the front HPs will fit, but not the rears......they're too short. That's from them, just talked to tech department there.....
