lol you want suspension for the wrong reasons. Negative camber will increase with lower ride height. Many people here like Koni/Ground control. Search for it. If youre looking to slam the car and have tons for camber and stretched tires etc. Good luck with that. I think most on here are more interested in usable daily setup in which case a height reduction of 1"-2" is a good range along with stiffer springs and performance shocks. Camber kits are not necessary unless you want to have excessive camber or none.

Then get an alignment. Some chain stores wont do custom alignments. You might need to find a performance shop to do it. For the rear -1 to -1.5 degrees camber is ok and front -1 to -2.5 or so. Toe at 0 for the street. Excessive camber will just hurt straight line driving causing the car to be jittery and might pull on uneven surfaces. You should worry about tires more than anything else. Theres no replacement for good summer tires.

Its funny that when the hondas at the shows have deep dish rims and a **** load of -camber everyone jocks em, but when i ask for help on how to get a little bit of camber i get laughed at...i thought a little bit can help handling performance but guess i was wrong, sorry i asked

Its hater-tech not honda-tech anymore. If you ask what the numbers mean after the letter on the engine codes (eg: B16) you will be flamed to high heaven rather than a simple answer of displacement in litres.

those are track cars. having that much camber will give u better handling but on the street all its going to amount to is poor ride quality and u will eat your tires right up. unless you are auto crossing your car there isnt much benefit, unless u are high speed cornering there is no benefit. if you do a little research on it before u ask questions then you will get better answers. putting that your doing because you like the look is a poor reason. just being honest with you. and a little bit of sarcasm makes it a little more fun. deal with it.

Thanks for your help..but the ride cant be that bad considering that i see plenty of cars on the streets sporting the negative camber
