    i had a mk2 jetta with tucked bbs's and trust me its form not function. lol literally road like piss. it looks cool but your better off doing a fresh poke instead of a tuck.

    Nobody make camber kits for the 3g accord. If you are trying to tuck the wheels in, why do you need a camber kit?

    The wheels will tuck in once you drop it but how low do you want to go?

    to start tucking the tires you would need to be lowered 2.5 inches maybe even 3. the K sports would be the best bang for you buck or height adjustment but it will be stiff for daily driving

    for aftermarket its very limited and just have like a 1.0-1.5 degree adjustment but the best is to use the 2nd gen prelude arms with washers and drill out the holes on the upper arm so then you can adjust the ball joints. im dropped about 2 inches in the front and im at -.8 camber so it still handles good.
