depends on how low you are going. theres an performance shop where i live that also does alignments. when i lowered my car they aligned it for me and said they could do it without a camber kit. that was on race springs and tokico shocks on my accord, and again when on my prelude when i got sport springs and tokico shocks.

depends on who does your alignment. some places that do performance alignments have more experience with performance suspension and can work with stock parts.

If you guys did your research, you'd find out that most tire wear is because of toe, not camber. Get an alignment after you installed the suspension and you'll be fine.

Get a cambet kit wont hurt and it also give you peace of mind. If you don't want to buy a new one, find a used one.

shouldnt you wait like two weeks or so until the springs are broken in?

what the hell advice is this of course if he doesnt want to pay for a new camber kit and wants one, then he'll get a used one. anyway "cambet kits" are not uber-necessary...the toe is the biggest problem as stated by a few others before myself

go get an alignment CHECK, ~$20, see if your camber is off for that 2" drop, most likely it'll be way off, Hondas have no camber adjustments, just TOE. Then order your kit(s), any shop can put it in for you, just a matter of labor.

My toe was set to 0 and the inside of the tires still wore down. I got the ingalls camber kit on all 4 coroners and have not had any wear issues.
