I just lowered my 2000 Accord and took it to the alignment shop,
they told me i need a camber kit else they cant do it.

do i really need a camber kit? what else do i need?
where is a good place to buy it?
do i need it for the both front and back?

 

how low is your accord?

 

Did you get a printout of the current camber settings? It may be that the front is okay, and only the rear is out of spec, or vise versa. Just because it's out of spec doesn't mean you HAVE to get a camber kit...you can get away with some negative camber as long as it's not real far out of spec.

If they didn't do it yet, just have them align it, and set the toe right, and leave the camber. that way you can see exactly how far out of spec you really are.

If you are really low (lower than 2.0") then you'll likely need some correction if you want to get the most out of your tires.

Search here on the board for the common brands and what people have had success with.

 

They should be able to set everything but the rear camber.
And depending on how low the car is it may or may not be a huge problem.

I drove for a few years with my rear camber out (Eibach pro-kit drop) before getting one installed it just accelerates tire wear a bit.

I lowered my coupe in '00, and at that time a camber kit wasn't yet available.

www.tirerack.com should have a kit if you can't find one via google.

 

i have eibach prokits, and i have camber problems up in the front, and the alignment shop was UNABLE to fix it, had to get an aftermarket camber kit

 

i thought the problem is usually with the rear?

 

usually the rear on 6th gens but every car is different. my sister didn't need a front kit for her coupe on pro-kits.

 

What year is your Accord? 6th gens can be adjusted in the front I find it hard to believe that the Pro-kit spring could very enough that you couldn't fix the camber on the front.

I think Scmiddy even has a more agressive front drop then me, and his car is in spec last time I knew.

 

There is no stock camber adjustment on either the front or the rear. But yeah, from what I've seen, you really gotta be low to need camber adjustment...I'm close to 2" up front, and with no camber correction it's still in spec. My rear was only about 1.5" and it was out of spec before I got a camber kit.

And yeah, I've never seen a prokit take the front camber out of spec, but I guess if you have really worn suspension parts, or front end damage, or something like that, it could cause it...dunno.

 

Im curious too.
