Default Quick Lowering question

I just bought a 96Lx Accord Auto!! And well I went to go buy some springs but I don't want to much of a drop! Maybe like 1.3 or 1.5!!! Question is will I need a camber kit for that kind of drop? And what springs support that! Will my ride be bouncing? Or hold up tight! also with a 1.3 or 1.5 drop will 18" rims look ok or will they even fit??
last how do you feel about black/grey rims on a black 4door accord?
thanks
-alex!

- eibach pro-kit
- no camber kit
18x7.5 with atleast a +42 offset (may rub slightly depending on tires)
- dark colored rims are trendy now, so go ahead and hop on the bandwagon

LOL!

i'm on H&R sport and i'm having pretty bad camber problems. safest way to go is to get your car aligned and see for yourself about the camber.

I have Tokico 1.5" springs with tokico shocks and my camber is a little off. If your getting springs might as well get some performance shocks while your at it. It all depends on how low you want to go and which springs you use for determing shocks.

I don't want to lower my car to much! I just want a little drop! the car is correctly in the shop! So when i get it back I will take some pics of it so you guys can see what I have on it so far! So Eibach is a good way to go? And to be safe get the camber kit along with some shocks? Anyone know of a web page to get price details!! Also any ideas on which rims would look nice? links would be appericated!

Anyone located in the Miami Kendall area??????

If you get the Eibach Prokit which drops like 1.3/1.5" then you won't need a camber kit. Just get some KYB AGX shocks and you'll be good to go.
