Hey,
Just lowered my -89 Accord front. Think I should get camber correction kit.

What is your suspension consist of? just "dropping" a car anyone can do, and you can do it cheap.

I bought some cheap lowering springs. Don't know the brand. Just need to get some prelude controls arms.
Not sure if these are my springs, part-number is the same.

Is there any possibility to camber correction on rear?

And what struts did you get? You can't just lower your car with cheap springs and expect it to be safe.

The PI spring seems to be pretty popular in UK - not as expensive as H&R or Eibach but good quality for the price, they say.
It says 35mm down compare to 40mm down H&R.
I am curious how PI spring perform.
Please let us know more detail and how the cornering and ride confort is etc.

I am not sure if you need canber correction kit - I am running H&R 40mm drop with KONI front Bilstein rear but tyre wears rather evenly if I rotate tyre every 6months.
But if you wanna be perfect, why not getting one.

Lets just hope he actually replaced the oem struts with solid aftermarket struts meant for a dropped car to give you an accurate opinion on ride quality.
