Default How low can I go.

I was thinking of lowering my car about 1inch. I dont want to go to low since the roads in NYC suck. My question is, how low can I go until I need to start adjusting the camber on my car? (6th gen 02accord )

I like they way our cars look lowered but I dont want to deal with spending money on getting this adjusted and that adjusted. I just want to slap in the spring/struts and thats it.

Your response is appreciated.

anywhere around 1.75" to 2.0", you'll need a kit.

if your streets suck, i wouldn't consider anything over 2.0". cracked bodykits and bent pipes aren't worth it.

Ive been in the City many times and im lowered on Neuspeed Sports which are 1.8" in front and 1.7" in back. I didnt have any problems except goin into an underground parking garage where i just barely made it w/o scraping.
And i also never did any camber adjustments. (although the rear has very slight negative camber)
Just my .02
