On my 2000 Accord with about 76k miles I replaced my OEM rims and tires with Falken ZIEX ZE512s (215/45R17) on MSR brushed aluminum rims (weight 19lbs compared to 21.5 stock rims). Big fender well gap, but I do not want to seriously compromise my stock ride so I went with KYB GR-2 shocks and Tein H-spec springs (I could not make a decision on anything else more expensive), KYB boot w/bumpstop (see tirerack) and pillow aftermarket mounting (tirerack again!), all other parts will be replaced by factory OEM parts from the dealer (really, those parts are fairly cheap). So after that my entire suspension will be new again. No camber kit, the drop is less than 1.5". If I need it, I will have to consider the options. I think I will have the shop install this one after nearly having my face torn off by an overly excited spring. My wife would not volunteer to help me with spring removal either.
