damn. how off were those tires? My front left is off .5 degrees, and my front right is off .4 degrees. I'm wondering how bad this will be for my tires, and if I should buy a camber kit.

I beleive the H&R sport springs are rather stiff and will probably wear out your tires rather quickly. In my experience, anything at 2.0inchs and lower should definitely get a camber kit and any spring sets that are stiff should also get cambers.

But your specs seem very little out of spec, so it doesn't look like you would need cambers.

whoa, how low does H&R SPORT drop on 5th gens?

On 6th gens it's 1.5/1.2 and no camber kit is needed.

On 5th Gens it is 1.75/1.5.. exact same as the Neuspeed, but is the Neuspeed not as stiff?

I'm starting to lean towards Pro Kits cause I don't really want to deal with Camber problems... but if I ever get 17's I'm afraid the Pro Kits will look too high.

Get an alignment then figure out if you need a kit or not. On my Accord I definitely needed a kit, but on the CL did not need one at all. Depends on the suspension geometery. Get a good computer alignment!

I have that exact same set-up and im telling you, you need a camber kit. May not look like it, but When I was painting my calipers I found out I did.
