Camber Kit

I'm gonna put coilovers on my accord, and im gonna drop it like 3 or 4 inches. And i was wondering, are camber kits easy to put on, like could i do it myself? If so, does anybody have a link to a site with instructions. Also, i saw a site that had instructions on putting on coilovers, and i lost it, does anybody know the site? Thanks.

be careful when adjusting camber, dont correct totally. keep it somewhere between 1-2 negative degrees. i only dropped 2" and when i corrected to 0 deg. the arm hit on every bump. and the more extreme you drop the easier itll hit.

Should i get it installed proffesionally? Cuz i dont wanna screw it up, and i dont really have anybody to help me out. Will it cost a lot to get it done professionally, or should i try doing it myself?

i like strfan's idea. i was thining about banging the lower crossbone, that way the wheel won't rub the fender, but i got the anchor bolts and now i have to do the inner fender mod to get rid of the bangs from the arm.

after you put on a camber kit on ALL 4th GENS, its gonna take morethan a "little banging" to stop your a-arm from hitting. you actually have to cut out a good chunk of metal from the top of your fender well to give enough clearance for your a-arm to protrude through, otherwise, and ive seen this happen, if you let it go, and let it hit all the time, you WILL brake your a-arm.

Its easier to figure out than you think. and sorry, i donth ave a camera or id take some pics, i think my vid cam can plug into my computer though, i'll check. anyways. heres the general idea. open your hood, stand in front of one of your wheels, and look down, as if your looking directly at your a-arm, hopefully you know what an a-arm is? anyways, obviously you cant see it, so you need to get a plasma cutter, or in the average joes case, a cutting wheel. preferably not a dremal, youd be doing it for days that way. you need to cut a hole big enough for your a-arm to go through. not the whole a-arm, mainly just where the ball joint is. you only need the hole to be big enough for your circumstances. the bad thing, it looks tacky to have these holes when you have your hood open. but, alas, there isnt another way around it, just a 4th gen prob. ive seen the hole wrapped with rubber trim and it looks pretty good, ive also seen a fabbed piece of plexi installed. see, mine poke out about 1/2-3/4" above that hole. it also sucks cause if your really low, your a-arm can go high enough to start hitting your hood, which mine has a small dent where it started to hit, i think, so i raised it a hair. anyways, i'll see what i can do for pics, till then, good luck finding anything, chances ar probably slim, and i'll do what i can to help you out. seriously though, its your only choice, unless you do air-ride.
