I just had my H&R Sport Springs installed last week on my 02 TL-S, and i just my wheels aligned today. The front camber was of by -1.0 degress while the rear camber is off by -1.7 degrees. i don't know if the camber for the H&R springs are better than the Eibachs, but i hope this helps.

Did you get an alignment after the install of the Eibachs?
If you didn't, do that and you will probably see your tire wear corrected.

i have that problem with H&R's but not nearly as severe. i just rotate my tires front to rear every 3 oil changes because my rear is worse than my front...driven 25k miles with no noticeable uneven wear on the tires.

i had my car aligned. its just that the springs are made for the lighter accord so my car sits lower (i guess around 2.25 inches). when i got the springs they were the only ones out. thanks for all of the help.....sounds like you guys like your springs so i guess i will go ahead and get them seeing as how it will save me a lot of money not having to buy tires every 5k miles.

After your alignment what were the final specs?? How bad was the camber?? Just beacsue yiu had the alignment done doesnt mean they did it properly. If you can get it done again before you spend all that money, and not by Sears, WTC or any of those chain stores.
