Want to lower and keep stock struts, dont want camber problem!

I want to lower the CL. Like I said, I want to keep the OEM struts and dont want to have to worry about the camber. What springs are best for this? Im thinking maybe a non-agressive 1" - 1.5" drop. Didn' t know if camber was always a problem with the CL, and lowering. Last thing, what years Accord suspension is like ours? (I know I should already know this)

PS- If it matters, Im going to have 225/40/18.

94-97 accord suspension. Try to find a 1.75-1.8" drop. Otherwise you'll get sick of the big gap in the front that the prokits leave. 1.8" you're camber will still be fine, and you can keep your stock struts. (i had a 1.75" drop on my 97 accord and it was the perfect medium.)

Go with the Pro-Kit. Wheel Gap is almost reduced in the rear, but some still remains in the front. Sportlines on a 3.0 will require a camber kit or you'll eat up the inside of your tires (just ask shatooi--he's running on the wires)!

Yea, I did that exact thing to my max. So I need the pro-kit for a 94-97 accord......what exactly is the drop with those?

camber help!!!

sup VXCL and dustbuster... have a question 4 you:

I have my 97 2.2CL dropped and the front is much lower than the rear and I do have bad camber on the front only. The day before I go back and start school (college); it was Sunday the front driver side tire got flat and it was due to bad camber and the inside of the tire was pretty much bald. I was wondering if you guys can tell me which front camber kit is the best without giving me any problems and will put my camber back to zero degree.. thanks...

sup VXCL...

Can you or anyone in here tell me if 97 2.3 CL camber kits will work on a 97 2.2CL? How about the 97 Accord EX camber kits, will they fit a 97 2.2CL? Thanks.
