im looking to lower my accord, and decided to go with coilovers. i dont really care about ride comfort too much, but i do care about camber/uneven tire wear and what not. so i want to lower my car, but dont want to go with off camber, which gives me a uneven worn tire.

so, which of coilovers out there comes with camber adjustable plate? so that i dont have to take my car to shop every time my camber is off. if you know any other way to acomplish this, any inputs are welcomed. my budget is about 1000 for now. i know coilover was covered in many threads and all, i couldnt get solid answer and couldnt decide exactly what to get.

i wanna do it right on first time with pretty descent coilovers that would last to save my pocket. also. i will probably install it for myself though.

thx alot in advance....have a great day guyz.

Our suspension isn't designed for adjustable upper plates like your talking about integrated into a coilover. You'll have to purchase a seperate camber kit.

Coilovers off the top of my head...

so then, i can go ahead and drop coilovers and rear camber kit with stock tires/wheels, go head and get alignments (not camber adjustments yet) and ride it till my spring settles.

once my spring settles, i can put new rims/tires, get alignments and camber adjusted...

am i right?
