Corner weighing will only allow you to adjust dampening at this point in time, it's really only useful for ordering custom rate springs.

Hey, do you think the $20 ebay rear lower tie bar would be worth installing?

Your money is better spent on strut bars. No public road is smooth enough to notice the difference a tie bar would make.

Okey dokey!

What year Accord was your 5th gen? And how much were you lowered and what degree of adjustability did you need on your camber kit? I am really worried that my +1.5-+3 degree kit will be to much even at its minimum.

I had a 95. I was lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, so I didn't need a kit, only an inch or so. Factory camber is like -0.5* to -1*.

Cross balancing corner weights makes the car handle about 0.2 g's better! You have to have adjustable spring perches and tie rod ends to do it .... first weigh the corners with the sways disconnected, balance crossweights, connect end links, re-crossbalance. Viola!!! Better handling!!! It also makes the car more tossable and predictable.

$200 total just for bushings. ugh, stupid.


EDIT: If I am getting a rear camber kit, do I need this kit? The two pieces that have flat pieces of metal w/ holes in them looks exactly the same as my Wicked Tuning rear camber kit. But I am guessing i'll need the other parts too.
