Question SUSPENION help

Ok my question is this....I have a 91 Honda Accord and I know they are notorious for having bad camber when lowered......I am planning to lower the car no more than 1.2 inches all the way around......I have 17x7 rims does anyone know if I will have a camber problem or even need a camber kit w. this mild drop?....anyone running a similar setup?

rule of thumb; lowering for more then 1.5" requires camber kit to fix alignment.
if you not going to exeed 1.5" you won't need camber kit, but you need go to alignment (tire) shop to get your suspension realign to factory spec.

With a 1.2'' drop, you should be fine. But get the alignment and make sure everything's ok. Good luck.

99% chance you won't need camber kit with 1.2" drop.

1.2" drop will shorten life of your struts, but expect 1.5-2 years before struts gonna go with 1.2" drop.
