I have SPC camber kit for both front and rear. Bought it but never installed it because I wasn't riding that low and numbers were in specs. Let me know if you want them. Brand new in boxes sitting in my garage for last almost two years.

Where in Bay area are you?

Fock that's low. I couldn't see me driving mine that low in my area, I'd rip the whole underside off. I recently took my 20's off and put the stock wheels back on and I scrape the front bumper and exhaust when pulling in or out of friends' driveways. Those wheels are really tucked in there. Looks good tho, no doubt.

Im new to this site but not new to the car scene. I picked up a 1st gen tl not too long ago and am looking to do suspension, wheels and just some standard stuff. I was wondering if the suspension you used has a different spring rate than the accords to compensate for weight difference?If the accord suspension was a direct bolt on?and what the specs were on those wheels. Sounds like im trying to replicate your car but dont worry i am not im just looking to get a general idea of wheel fitment for these cars since no one seems to have a whole lot of information. If you could just atleast let me know about the spring rates so i dont buy some floppy doppy coilovers that would be great. Car looks baller by the way

I didn't change the spring rate/ pre-load on the coilovers. And they were a direct bolt-on no problems whatsoever, if you're a 2.5. And the fitment could of went a lot smoother if I ran a 40 series tire, but I had these laying around and put them to use. Expect major hammering as the rear fender is no room so you have to hammer + roll and pull.
