Default Camber Kits?

Hey Guys,
I got a 96 Accord (4dr) and wanna lower it about an inch and a half. I was wondering if I am gonna need camber kits all the way around, or for only the back? What springs and camber kits would you recommend? Thanks.

it is one of those better safe than sorry type situations, you can get it if you want but my guess is that you won't need it with those springs!

I got eibach sportlines. I had the springs on for like 1 year. Took it into a shop and had an aligment done. Shop said that the aligment was off a little bit and he said to get a camber kit. But my tires are doing pretty good.

I got neuspeed sports 1.7/1.8 I got an alignment and had like -2 degree negative camber, so I got the progress camber kit. Now im sitting straight up and down. A lil negative on the back but no tire wear. The only reason you really need it is because of tire wear basically. Few other reasons but..

dvp, you can always use washers in the rear to correct the camber. thats what i did, my rear is perfect but my front has -2 camber but its fine with me.

btw i have neuspeed sports and koni yellows.

yeah my negative back is fine with me. Is it the negative front that is better for turning? I know that tires wear in front since its FWD.....my back ones are new even though there is negative camber.
