Spend more you say, ok count me in.
Ha, I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb. I will keep you in mind in the near future. Something tells me I will be price shopping pretty soon.
Ok back to the camber kits.
I took the car out today, and man was she loose. I had the camber set at 0 and the toe was slightly out. It was down right scarry going thru a couple of turns. So I jacked her up and set the camber to .75 and that pulled the toe back in some.
So I took her for another drive, and she was way better. The toe still needs to come in some, but she doesn't make my butt pucker every time I hit a bump.
One a side note, I played with the ride height some too. Once I get the new tires on, I will be setting with a 1/4 inch gap from the lip of the wheel well to the tire. Yeah I could go lower, and tuck the tire, but I like this look better, and I don't have to worry about my ground effects near as much.
Well, now I am off to do the rear.
I know the factory settings (for a stock accord) is double what the front is. That matches my original measurments after I lowered the car. So I wonder if there is a reason for that, or if I could go less than double in the back? Say .75 in the front, and 1.25 in the back.

Oh and that $270 is just what most are selling for... hit me up when you want a better price

Glad to hear your butt pucker problem has improved

You'll have to get some pics up after you get the new tires and the ride and height set up :)

Well the back is done, and the aft ride height has been tweaked a little.
I will wait till tommorow to test drive her again. As of now the front is at -.8 deg of camber and the aft is -1.6 deg of camber. So I will see how she rides and go from there. I wish it was easer to adjust the toe, then I could really dial her in before I have every thing fine tuned at the shop.
