I think you might need some koni yellows to handle that low of a drop. Reds seem to be more of a sporty factory replacement, while yellows can handle big drops.

To deal with the camber issue, you'll need to get a camber kit and have it professionally aligned most likely.

Cheapest yellows are probably ~$560, you can PM hondaman-iac and see what he can do for you.

An alignment is usually around $65 and I'm not sure about the kit. Wait for a second opinion on the reds though before you give up.

edit because Im a dumbass**

camber can be fixed w/ a kit. (or washers in the back)
Different kits cost different amounts (like everything) but get one that costs more so you get a good one. Ingalls, Suspension tech or something like that (their symbol is an indian cheif), skunk2 (although the ball joints go bad :thumbsdown: )

i'd just wait and get the coilovers at once. don't get springs now and then coilovers. do the whole thing at once and save yourself some money.
