i know..i wanna move up to 40's..but these tires are still in perfect shape. in fact, the front two are just brand new cuz an air bubble formed in one of the sidewalls of em.

yeah im gonna take off the sunroof visor tomorrow. ill take better pictures (with it off) tomorrow after i give it a good wax. but for now, here are the pictures after the drop.
so i got an alignment (specs below) and i obviously need a camber kit for the rear. the shop that i get my crap done can get me a rear camber kit for 160 (80 bucks each). they're spc. is this a good deal? im new at this lowering thing so any and all advice regarding camber kits is much appreciated. can anyone gimme a link to a specific site where i can get the rear kits? i hear ingalls > spc.... true?
two finger gap in the front
one finger gap in the rear

hey man...there are a few really good sellers on ebay that offer spc kits for really cheap. i got a full front and rear set by spc on ebay for 215 shipped! make sure when you search you search for accords if CL/TL doesnt come up because we use the same parts
if i were you i would get SPC rear and ingalls full replacement control arm assembly cause then you wont have the common clearance issues assosiated with the SPC ball joints in the front. i hated them at first, but i have learned to live with them.

You might want to post your camber question in the wheels, tires, and suspension forum... Some people might not notice your questions here in the photo forum...
