Default Need inexpensive camber kit for 95 Accord

One of my sister's friends bought a 95 Accord that was lowered but hadn't had an alignment. She needs a cheap camber kit soon before it destroys the tires. The car isn't raced, so we don't need anything serious. I don't know whats available for the Accords, please post any info/links here.

How much is it lowered ?
If it's lowered 2" or more.. just take it to an alignment shop and have them bend your A-arms.
Camber kits suck.

I doubt that you can get any camber kit under 100 bucks. Look into the a arms though

black 97 accord
dropped 2.5 inches
17 inch white racing rims
6.4 inch LCD sreen w/ vcr, dvd, playstation 2
euro tail lens
grill craft

I've heard that bending the A arms can weaken your suspension. Also running into curb's or similarly severe trauma to the suspension can knock your camber out of whack again. If you're running coilovers or plan on raising/lowering the car anytime in the future, you would have to have the arms bent again. I shopped around and got an ingall's camber kit, front only, for 108 after taxes so if you shop around you can get the for a decent price. The rears can be corrected with a tecnnique that involves washers that costs next to nothing. I'm going to do this next weekend and see how it works out.

Never heard anything about weakening your suspension, but I know for a fact you can only bend them once.

Also, Accords don't like being lowered. Take my word for it. I'm 2.25" lower than stock and I have issues (all the time).
For one, being this low, camber kits are baaaaaadddd. There's so little room between the a-arm and fender well, that the kit ends up having a blind date with the top of the well whenever you hit a bump or dip resulting in a loud bang (sounds real bad).
If you're only going for a conservative drop.. like 1.5" or less than the kit would probably be the way to go. Otherwise take it to a reputable shop and have the front a-arms bent (you can always get new a-arms they're not expensive).
