well, i have a 1998 accord, ive been in 2 accidents(front damage both times), none being my fault, and tho my car has been fixed up by insurance completely, perhaps its out of spec(frame) slightly, sometimes its hard to put the front bumper on, a tight fit. i used to own VIS spec II coilovers(thought they were good when they came out in 99, boy was i wrong), slammed the bitc* 4 inches+, and the rears were about 3 inches dropped. blew my shocks to the point of leaking, 4 tires blew, ever since than, my front seemed a little lower, even when i went to stock suspension, i also had the REAL Apexi WS coilovers($1000 back than), so i have spent quite a bit of times with different setups on my car, now i have the Eibach prokits with stock suspension. jweller, very reputable guy on these honda boards checked out my car, he said he is suspect that perhaps my OEM shocks are making the car sag in the front a bit more, the front oem shocks are pretty new(year old), so i know their not blown, actually the rears need to be changed out. my fronts drop is about 1.8 inches, close to 2, i kno prokits are all around 1.5. but yes, i need a camber for the front, there is very UNEVEN wear, and NOT the rears from what i see. i may just get the tein SS, or just screw the whole accord project, and get a new car like a new 350Z, SLK or m3.

I have a 5th gen, and my front is higher than the back. When you look at the rear you can definately notice the camber is off in the front, not too much in the front, but the rear hardly wears the inside. My front inside wears out WAY faster. Why is that? Just need camber kit for front and back?

get a kit for the front, use the bolt/washer trick for the rear. you can do a search for the washer one and find many threads.

the camber kits are really cheap, i bought the front ones for 52 shipped, free lifetime warranty also.
remember that 92-95accords and 92-95 civic camber kits are the same.
