Default camber question

I'm about to lower my car with the Eibach Pro Kit. I know that the camber will be a little bit off after that and I'm a perfectionist. Does anyone have any idea as to how close it will be off? And can it be adjusted back to completely normal on the 98-02 Accords like at an alignment shop? Thanks in advance.

the front will be only off by a tiny bit since macpherson struts have very little camber gain during compression. the rear however will be a little more noticeable. it can be changed back to stock specs with the use of a camber kit, but depending on your drop it might not be necesary and can even benefit you if you do some hard driving. what usually kills tires when lowering is not camber but toe, so you should be more worried about that when setting your alignment after the drop.

There is no factory adjustment for the 6th gen camber. Ingalls sells a camber kit for the front and rear if you're super picky.

Oh and I should add that the Pro Kit only lowers your car 1.5 inches. Is that big enough of a change to make a huge difference in tire wear? I wish I could find some Accords my year model with the Pro Kit installed.

even better, with the kit and a good tech to do the alignment, you can be better than 'perfect' since no car really comes with 'perfect' alignment left to right from the factory.
