    Lowering spring/camber kit

    Ok I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I'm looking into just getting some eBay lowering springs, until I can get enough money for koni struts and neuspeed springs. I was just wondering if it would be necessary for me to get a front camber kit. I'm trying to find springs that'll be like a 1.5" drop. I know all of the downsides to eBay springs, and I am aware of what I am getting myself into. I was just wondering if anybody had experience with lowering their car with generic springs, and if they had troubles with the camber/tire wear. So if I could please get some good info I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!

    Most likely with such a small drop your camber won't be to bad. But you will definitely need an alignment to save your tires. Toe gets all crazy when you go changing ride heights.

    I wish I could trade my heart for an extra liver, just so I can drink more and care less.

      Alright sweet thank you!! I'm actually having trouble finding springs that only drop 1.5". But I did find some that drop 1.75r and 2.0f. Do you think I'd still be alright?

        Most likely. You'll definitely have some negative camber. But I don't see it being over -2 or -3 which isn't all that bad. If you do decide you need or want to get camber kits DO NOT get cheap ebay ones. I had a set once and the bushings fell apart in about a month, they felt like cheap quality and didn't fit all that great. It's better to just deal with the tire wear until you can afford something good.

            Sweet thanks! What are you lowered on?

            These are the springs i'm looking at.http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIP-19...30d280&vxp=mtr
            or these http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACCORD-CB-CD...0e6601&vxp=mtr
            The spring rates are different from stock springs, but theyre not as drastic as some of the 550f 300r springs. I feel like this will prolong the life of my shocks a little bit longer. These were also the only one's i could find with a 2"f 1.75r. Also the second one is a progressive spring. Which one of the two would be better? Thanks!!!

            I also found this to be an interesting read. I know its not from a honda forum, but it seemed like pretty universal information.
