definitely figure your cost with a camber kit. its not worth ruining your tires and sacrificing ride quality b/c you didnt want to spend a couple extra bucks to correct your camber. trust me, i went through a set of front tires in about 5-6 weeks. i had the camber kit, but i just hadn't gotten the car aligned, so it was basically like not having a camber kit at all. I'll quit talking now, but i hope that gave you some useful advice. Later bro.

i agree with everyone who said that either go with the Apexi WS or Tein coilovers.. Apexi WS if ur daily driving and Teins if you want to go to the track. my friend is NEVER planning to enter his car into a car show, or to the track, just subtle daily driver in his 98 accord, and it rides like a "DREAM!!!!" with the Apexi WS coilovers, i've seen them go as low as $850 shipped now, cheaper than b4. amazing, like stock, but yet, he can take corners amazingly tight and fast, and he is dropped like almost 3 inches even. cying this guy who posted this thread also has a 6th generation, i highly recommend either of them, having ridden on both coilover systems. actually, when i rode the teins i was in a 98 prelude. depends what ur lookin for man, i have eibach pro-kits and their expensive just for springs, and they ride amazing like stock, downside is i cant adjust height, and their only dropped 1.5 inches. and their a bit soft on performance. if u buy springs and shocks, its just a few hundred less than the WS, and i think the pro-kits are one of the best springs in my opinion for the 6th generation accords. rides like stock, but yet you get performance, but if i had the money, i'd gotten the full coilover system.

I had my 6th gen dropped last summer and I saved alot of money. It might not be the best, most expensive setup, I'm totally happy with it without any complaints. I purchased a new set of Eiback Pro kit on ebay for like less than $150 and took it over to this place who took out my old springs and installed new ones (all that crap that goes with removing and installing too) for $100. I kept my stock springs in. So the whole drop with springs and installation cost me $250. I still have an excellent ride without any problems, I know I might have to change the shocks one of these days in the future but i might be able to get away with the stock shocks for a total of 2 years (maybe more).
