I have a 95 Accord LX 4 Door. I put on 16" Enkei rims and dropped it 1.25" with H&R Springs. My uncle used to be a mechanic so I did the install on the springs with his help. However, I was unaware of the fact that my alignment was completely thrown off. (I am an amatuer) My tires were gone in about 8 months with less than 12k miles on them.

My question is, can this model Accord's toe/camber be corrected without a Camber kit, or is that something I must have in order to get rolling straight? I have been told that it cannot be adjusted on my car and I need to get the kit for it to work. (this was from a friend of mine, not a mechanic trying to sell me more parts)

Also, what are suggestions on brands? There is a guy on this site selling Engalls kits for $100 shipped for the front end. Is that something that I should look in to? There are some generic ones on eBay for around the same price if not a little cheaper.

Do I need to get a rear kit as well?

Thanks for your help.

 

you need to get a kit. http://www.specprod.com don't get a ball joint kit. you can do a washer job on the back w/ some larger bolt. toe shouldn't be THAT off, that you should be able to correct, if not, you may have some bent component(s). camber plates are not necessary.

You said dont get a ball joint kit but they only have ball joit kits on their site. Is there a different site, I have a 98+ Accord.

 

I have SPC Adjustable Upper Balljoints on my civic. Why shouldn't he buy the ball joint kit? They work great for me.

You might need kits for both front and back, but buy a kit for the front as soon as you can and get an alignment.

 

I have heard of some Accords having adjustable control arms. Thats all i know, i dont know what year or what trim, but its probable ex, whatever year it is. I have a 94 lx, and i dont have them, so good luck.
