Default 99 Accord - camber kit?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and i was wondering if you guys can help me. I will be lowering my car soon and i was wondering if i need a camber kit so i can get it when i get my shocks n springs. My springs will be Eibach pro-kit lowering 1.5 inches and KYB gr2 shocks. Will i need a camber kit or would it just really depend on the car? Oh yea, i also read something about the washer trick or something and i was wondering if i could use that on my car and save me some money?

not everyone has time to read basic accords guide

as to the question of camber or not.....thats really up to you

i just lowered my 5th gen and im around the same height all around, just take a look at your wheel when it settles that will give you good indication....some ppl say just to get a really good alignment..

Honda camber is meant to go a certain degree and still be fine...1.5 is fine for the stock camber just go get a good alignment

I can tell you that you wont really be satisfied with 1.5 I did that and I ended up lowering the back some more cuz it had a larger wheel gap than the front

The rear washer trick does work I did it to my car......if you need directions for that I can help ya there, but the rule of thumb is for each inch lowered you should use a set of washers...each washer provides give or take 1/2 a degree back to positive camber

any other questions just leave a reply on here i check it often

uhh, ok... sure man... 95% of all the questions noobs ask could be answered if they just read it. and it doesn't take that long... unless you have to look up every other word in the dictionary. and seriously, i would think a person could take a few minutes out of their TV time to learn more about their car.

"not everyone has time to read basic accords guide"... what a crock of ****.
