Default lowering 4th gen??? need some serious help!!!

the last 4th accord i had was lowered 2 in. and after i had a camber kit installed, the a-arms would bash the fender well. on my next accord, i want to lower it the same as last time, but, would removing the inner fender after installing the camber kit help at all?? any advice will be helpful

hmm....that's very odd, i've never heard of the a-arms hitting the fenders with that drop, and i know guys that lay their cars out....so 2" shouldn't do that.

i would'nt worry about a camber kit for 2" drop, just have it re-aligned so your toe-in isn't out of wack and you should be good on tires.

pata, it appears that we have both retreated here after hs being down for maintenance?

but i am with pata and am lowered 3.25 as well, and my control arms knock like sons of bitches. its horrible. i tried to shave off a bit of the control arm and it didn't do a thing, it is knocking the top of the fenderwell in there. shaving off the end will make it clear that little lip in there. i think i may buy some yellows or agx and stiffen it up in there and see if that helps with the knocking. other than 1) stiffening it up in there and 2) cutting out where it knocks, i dont have a clue.
