i've got tein s-tech springs on mine, love em (1.8 front 1.3 back). However, a little on the soft side for me, as I would have gotten something with a bit more firmness to the suspension. I'm getting a camber kit just because the camber is off on my car for non-spring related issues and just because Accord's don't come with adjustable as do other cars. It's worth the 340 bucks plus install if you're running on performance tires rather than having to replace all of your tires early.

yeah, but the pics are shitty because i got them on 2 weeks ago and i've only remembered to take pictures at night and you can't tell the difference. BUT, there is a real nice high-speed cornering up, but the down is that whatever oversteering I got from my wider tires I think got nullified with the lowering (at slow speeds in parking lots, it pisses me off because i can never get into a ******* parking spot anymore)

I've got 17's on 215/50/17 and with the lowering there is a barely noticeable gap in the top of the tire in the wheel well. You're car oughta look great on those 18's.

As far as that camber kit goes, I got in a wreck 1.5 years ago (right after i got my car) with a dual-wheel F350 that messed up my front left side pretty bad and screwed up the caster and camber on my wheels, which is why I'm getting that alignment kit ASAP.
