Hello guys, I just lowered my 2000 Honda Accord LX with H&R Sport Springs (1.5 front and 1.2 back). Do I need a camber kit? I honestly dont know what a camber kit is, I always see it and read about it, but couldnt understand. Also, do I need a wheel alignment? Or what exactly do I need now that I've lowered my car. So sorry for my stupidity, I really dont know much about car, although I'm trying to learn . Thanks so much!

 

I would say anything over a 2" drop would need a camber kit. Mine had been dropped 1.5" and I haven't needed it.

What does camber kit actually do? And don't I need a wheel alignment? Thanks.

 

When you lower your car the top of the wheels tilt in so as you're driving you're riding on the inside of the tire, this means that the tires will wear unevenly and you have less "rubber on the road" or a little less traction in certain situations... a camber kit allows you to adjust the tires so that they are standing straight up again and contact the road properly.... If you get a camber kit then install it and take the car to an alignment shop and have an alignment done so it's all setup properly...

 

Ah ok, now I understand thank you so much for explaining.

 

no problem we'll always help if we can!
