Default Need advice on lowered 92 accord

I lowered my car with the skunk2 race springs (approx. 2 inch drop) The front wheels have a negative camber of course now. It leans in at the top. Do you recommend that I just get another alignment, or do I need to install a camber kit? Thanks

Alignment will help but camber kit will fix it.

I would highly recommend the Ingalls kit for the front and rear both. Quality stuff. I'm dumped way low on H&R C/O's and that's what I'm using. Easy to intall and have good adjustability.

Which Ingalls kit are you talking about? The one that's a balljoint? or the one that has two pieces that goes on the A arm?

I run the A Arm mount kit. The balljoint kit works too I guess, can't really give ya any feedback on it tho. Just make sure you get the right kit. I belive this is the one you'll want to run to get the camber close to being back to zero or just a tad neg...

Linky

I run the other one they have, but I'm setup for autox and road course.

There is no factory camber adjustment for your car, same as mine. The only way to get camber adjustment is with an aftermarket kit. I do not recommend the balljoint type kits. we have installed a few at the shop, and they all come back.

I recommend no camber kit and just getting a standard alignment to correct toe.

Really? Won't the wheels still lean inward causing the inner thread of the tire to wear quicker?

I'd run a camber kit.

Any of my cars over 1.5 drop get a a camber kit. One of my Civics and one of my Accords are at 1.5 with just alignment. Another one of my Accords (2.0) and my CRX (2.5) were using a camber kit.
