Default Suspension Inquiry

I have an 02 Accord I4 and have just dropped it (Tokico Illumina shox, Eibach Sportline springs) and wanted to know if it's true that the rear camber is more thrown off than the front- and that the front can actually go without being kitted so long as I rotate my tires with every oil change or so (7500 miles for my car)? Also, if anybody has Tokico Illuminas, what setting do you ride in? (1-5) since I'm wondering whether to go with 3 for balance or down to 1 for a really soft ride.. Thanks in advance for the responses.

On most cars the front need a kit and the rears just use the washers though i'm not sure on the 6th gen's. No i have never tried 1 I set mine like htis tried it for a week and left as is i will only change it at the track

If you go lower than 2inchs on 6th I believe a camber kit is a a must.

Washers dont work on 6th gen i was told.
Accords have negative camber in the rear to begin with. As I think most hondas are like that.

Its not that much of a negative camber but once you drop it, it will show more.

Instead of rotating the tires I would invest in a camber kit.
Gonna drive you nuts changing your tires.

Yes, the rear will be more affected than the front. Up to about a 2" drop, you'll only need rear camber correction, past 2", you'll need front ags well (generally).

No washer trick on 6th gens.
