    1.8 drop or 1.5 drop Which One

    Ok I searched and came up with nothing.
    I can get some coil springs for my Accord that lower the front end 1.8inches
    Do i need to use a camber kit with these or prelude arms, the thing is I really dont want to go thru the hassle of changing my arms.
    So will I be fine with a 1.8 drop or should I just go with a 1.5drop and be safe..
    Help....

    well by lowering your car at all you are still going to affect the camber.. So then you trade going through the hassle of replacing your Arms with the Hassle of buying Tires more often..

    That part I can deal with but I just dont want to change out my arms or add a camber kit.
