Default Question about lowering a 96 accord

I have a 96 accord ex. I want to lower it 1.5-2.0 inches. I want to know what are my best options. how much negative camber can i expect? Money is definately a limiting factor but id like to know what you guys are running no matter how much it was. im looking for something to mainly just drive on the street, maybe autox every now and then. thanks

prokit rides really comfy, and sportlines are a lot more bumpier. I've had both and for street driving I would recommend the prokits. I have the sportlines right now and I'm trying to trade them for prokits. Sportline looks better though. It looks like this with 17's. I have bilsteins btw.

look into h&r's, the sport springs should give you the drop you want.

I have Neuspeed sport spring and Tokico blue shocks and they performed relatively good. I recently got the full TEIN set-up and it kills the spring/shock combo that i have. But if you want i'm selling the neuspeed springs and Tokico shocks. They're in pretty good shape and there's no sagging. Email me at PMark888@aol if you're interested. IT's a 1.75" front and 1.5" rear. Camber kit is not necessary but it wouldn't hurt if you put one on.
