Icon5 @%&# bad camber

Hey guys I am on my palm pre so I can't post a pic of how low my car is I will assume it is a 3inch drop maybe more front and rear


I looked an it appears to have yellow springs (neuspeed extreme ??)

Well all four tires have terrible camber wear

I was looking at camber kits but don't know what to look for I know for the rear I will probably use the wicked racing kit

But what kit for the front that won't break the bank ??????


Thanks in advance guys

spending more on the front end will save u more down the road on tires/alignments etc.

i'd say, go with skunk2

No, currently Skunk2 does not make a camber kit for the Accord. Most Accord guys will usually go with Ingalls Camber kits. Hopes this helps. Please not that Toe will eat your tires up before camber. So if anything, right now, just get the toe adjusted if money is tight. Then go back and do the camber.

New tires and an alignment.

You can go much lower than you are and be fine with tires. You don't necessarily need a kit.

You need a *good* alignment, a mom and pop shop probably will not cut it. Getting good tires that have good treadwear on them is another necessity. You can't throw a $20 tire and expect it to last as well as the $90 tires (my most recent were $150 a tire online).

Digital alignment with before/after and have the toe corrected to 0 degrees. If for whatever reason you want camber kits still, I would just do the washer trick in the rear which works just fine and can correct around 1.5 degrees of camber or so and a ball joint for the front. Ingall's or whatever.
