definately get the camber kit. i have a 92 accord, on h&r sport springs, and without the camber kit, the camber was killing my tires.

Just a quick question:

Why are you wanting to lower it as much as possible? It is for asthetic purposes or handling?

If its for handling...it won't handle any better if your car is sitting on the ground; yes you lower the center of gravity of the car BUT a nice shock/strut, sway, spring, strut tower braces a "mild to medium" drop will do just as nice AND you won't go through tires as easy. NTM the camber kit will actually be able to adjust the camber you created from having a mild to medium drop (1-2inches).

Just my 2 cents

There's a point of dimminishing returns when it comes to lowering your vehicle. For one, you can really damage the underside of the car (you will always find yourself in the middle of bad roads - been there, done that). It's also very hard on your axles - having it so low puts the axles at a bad angle instead of being straight, causing twice the stress on the joints.

Anything more than a 2" drop is not worth it on an accord unless you're at a car show.

I'm just curious. HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK CAN THIS POST POSSIBLY APPEAR?

Also curious, is the search feature still available to trial users? Seems like every mother ****** that jumps on here to make 1 or 2 posts is asking about how to lower, how much to lower, and will I need a camber kit.

Eibach Pro kit is a good set of springs. Tein also makes the S-Tech.

Both I would recommend.
