I have a 98 Accord with 18" chrome rims on it. I don't race, and rarely ever drive over 80 mph. You get the idea. I haven't lowered it yet, but I'm planning on putting on Tokico illumina shocks and springs, or Tokico illumina shocks and Eibach springs.
So is a camber kit necessary? I am a daily driver, and regarding a kit, some people say no, and some say yes. Most of the ones that say yes race their cars and stuff. Thanks in advanced.

 

You'll be fine without one.

 

im on eibach sportlines without a camber kit for 4 years and with aftermarket wheels for 2 years. and have only had minimal wear on the inside of tires. appearantly going lower than 1.5", yo should consider a camber kit

 

i agree you should me ok unless you go past 1.5-2 inch drop

 

I agree, I think you'll start to need one, once you go past 2.0"

 

do you have a 6th accord too jwogen1? I have 18 inch rims and the wheel gap is ugly as hell...im just scared if i drop it ill have to get a camber kit...i was thinkin about prokit...but u have the sportline and you dont have any major tire wears?

 

Ill sell some coilovers real cheap!!!!!!

 

I have eibach sportlines and they killed fairly new tires in 6 months. With the stock 15" wheels on my car. So then I got eibach camber kit some 17" and have not had a problem. But still cant get the alignment perfect.

 

why not just go to an alignment shop and ask for a free 'camber estimation'?

But toe is the main killer of tires....regardless, just do the rear washer trick and maybe put 1 or 2 washers on each bolt and rotate your tires frequently

 

totally depends on the car...some cars with a 1" drop need them, and some with a 2.25" drop don't. However, an alignment after any suspension work is necessary or you'll be visiting the tire store every couple months

How are you going to get a 1' drop with sportline springs?
Sportliine are 2' drop.

 

Is it true that the washer trick does not work for the 6th gen? If it is im screwed.
