Car Dropped (New Pics)

i just dropped my car yesterday. i didnt run into any problems like shineylite did . as i was installing the springs i was installing the camber kits also. drop looks sickk. not too low and not too high. unfortunatley i dont have a digi cam to take pics. i kind of have a problem right now tho. the steering is a lot more sensitive and the tires screetch when i make a turn or sumthing in safe speeds. are these two problems caused by the car not having an alignment done? would and alignment help? and sometimes when i hit a big pot whole or approach a tall drive way something there is a low thump. is that from the control arms bottoming out? appreaciate the help guys.

the weird thing about the screatching is i would take the same turns faster with stock springs and now with H&R's u wouldnt expect screatchin at lower speeds. what bushings might be shot?

the reason why they are kind of b&w is it the pics were taken when there was some overcast and it was taken with a cell phone. the quality of the pics came out good with the cellphone. as for the suspension i used h&r sports for the 94-97 honda accord. im riding on stock shocks (a little too bumpy) and i plan on putting opn some kyb gr2 soon.

Don't do it...save up for KYB AGX's. You can get them from ebay for $293.00 shipped.

Im courious about this too...im about to get Neuspeed Sports (1.5 F, 1.75 R drop) and I called up KYB, they told me neither the GR2 or the AGX would work with that low of a drop. I'd like to get the GR2 because their being sold with the springs (everythings new) for cheap...but with that low of a drop, would it be better to go with the AGX?? I just want a nice ride, and I know the agx is adjustable, but I think the GR2 would be a nicer ride?? maybe?? can anyone help??
