Did you get an alignment after you lowered your car?

And a camber kit is widely available from companies such as Skunk2 and SPC.

They're not that pricey, but worth the money.

if you are planning on getting some type of camber kit, then i suggest you get it and put it on before the alignment. that way you pay once for it.

a camber kit should completley take care of it with a good alignment. depending on the car some hondas can be spaced with washers and longer bolts in the rear.

no, no, and no.

if you install the kit, you then need to take it to get aligned. the technician doing the alignment will set things right, just make sure you specify you have a kit.
