Default Few Questions about after-market suspension setups

I am by no means a noob when it comes to suspensions, but I do have a couple of questions to ask about my 96 Accord LX.

I have been looking into lowering my car on a budget, this is my daily and has over 220k, so keep that in mind. I'm looking to run CG/Koni's.

My question is, Are Accords prone to heavy camber as a result of lowering about 2'' all around? Kinda like the DA's and older EF's

I'm trying to get away with running no camber kit lol, so I would like to know if I need one.

Also, I plan on running a RSB, I found out Progressive makes one for our cars, is any one running one?

what setups are you guys running? Do you recommend them? Pics would help. Thanks

I chopped a photo from earlier today to the height I wanted to run, for reference.

Why would you need a camber kit? You honestly never *need* one other than for looks.

Just have the toe zero'd out with the alignment

Yeah I know I can do that, I just don't want to run more than -2 degrees of camber on a daily because eventually you will start to see some wear.

Nope, one of those urban myths. Provided your toe is 0.0 degrees (or as close to that as possible) you will be fine and minimize any type of premature wear.

The other thing to keep in mind is the anchor style camber kits will cause the UCA to hit the inner fender well. You're better served with the ball joint ones.
