you dont NEED a camber kit. some people will reccomend it i dont.
i was lowered about 3.5 inches with my old cb7, i got a camber kit, and it made no difference whatsoever in my tire wear. i do reccomend you going to get an alignment and setting the toe to zero.
my current accord is lowered 2.5 inches with -2 degrees of camber all around, and 0 degrees toe. and i'm on maybe 10,000 miles now on 215-45-17 tires with NO abnormal wear whatsoever.
you dont need a camber kit. make sure you get a print out for your alignemnt, or do it yourself.

From a safety perspective it's highly recommended though. When I lowered two inches, my camber was -5 in the front and -3 in the rear. It was downright dangerous to drive, especially in the rain. It depends, as everyone else is saying, but I would recommend it from personal experience.Originally posted by jdmjunky View Postaight...thanks for the advice. it's gonna save me some money

Alignments is what I do for a living now and ive never seen a cb7 (let alone any honda) with negative 5 degrees , thats allot I think your case was very unique and there was definately something more going on with your vehicle. At most I see 2.5 degrees neg. in the front and about 2.5 in the rear.Originally posted by oranger View PostFrom a safety perspective it's highly recommended though.

Yeah, the drop of both of those is pretty mild. Camber wear, as it turns out, is USUALLY the effect of toe + camber wear. The toe scrubs off the tread and the camber makes the toe scrub off only the inner tread.Originally posted by jdm_inspired View PostProkits or Sportlines? Anyway, I doubt it. But check your tread wear in about 2-3 months.
As long as the camber isn't too bad, set toe and let it go.
