Will I need a camber kit??

Well, Christmas is almost near and I really wanna drop!!! I was thinking some H&R Sports Springs with some Koni Yellows. My only question is, will I need to get a new camber kit if I run this setup? Also, does anyone have this setup, and is it a good look? I was thinkin Comptech springs, but I don't like the "rake" look. Any Info. on this topic will be greatly appreciated!!


Thanks!!~

You shouldn't need one with the H&R Sport springs. I had them on my car and never needed a camber kit. However every car is different. Have them double check when you get the alignment done.

Wow, I was just browsing through a few old posts about the HR springs, and DAMN they give a nice even drop!! On second thought, I may not even get shocks....If I wont have any problems with the HR's why waste money on shocks!!! I found them for $99.00 on Cardomain.com!!!!! I just hope they're the right ones.....#51858-88????


Thanks!!~

That's the right ones.

How many miles on your car. If you have more than 40K to 50K, I would recommend getting shocks/struts as well. It's not worth paying to have the springs installed and then having to pay more to swap the struts/shocks later on.

I think those are the Race Springs. I think what you need are the 51858. The race springs are lower and with those you may need a camber kit. Click below, and use the TL to view the available springs. And they are the same as the Accord V6.

Personally, I think you should just check out e-bay or the blackmarket. It doesn't matter if there are a couple miles on them. If you get them new, most places will be around $200. Are you planning on doing the install yourself?

Anything over 1.5" go ahead and get a camber kit for front and rear. You'll save money on your tires.

I don't have H&Rs so I don't know how much it will drop the car. Research, then get back.

I would go with yes, get the cmaber kit, what it will save you in the long run on tires, it's worth it. I have a 2" drop on mines with stock shocks. Looking to replace shocks. Anyone have any reccomendations for shocks that go with a 1.75 - 2" drop?
