Apexi WS Coilovers and Camber Kits

Hello! Yesterday I finally got my Apexi WS coilovers installed. I am happy except for the fact that I can see my wheels in an angle. I want to correct this ASAP before seeing my tires all bald from the inside.

If I raise my setup a bit ( presently I have 1 finger all around ) will I avoid having to use a camber kit? Any coilover users do this to avoid camber corrections?

This is my plan when i get an alignment. Can I ask the mechanic if he can adjust the height to where I would not need any camber corrections??

What do you guys/gals think?

the thing is that, as soon as you go below stock, you're camber will ask for correction. However, with frequent tire rotations you could survive with moderate drops..

But when you go as low as you have them, a camber kit is pretty much the only way to go.. Unless for daily driving you do with a minimal--moderate drop.. And for shows, take it as low as it'll go.

Well, I had Eibach pro-kits before which had a 1.3" drop and when I had it aligned I did not need camber kits.

I've seen Prokits on many Accords.. Depending on your definition of the word *need*, you did need a camber kit. Only that at around 1.3, its not as apparent.

Accord Man has it exactly right. If you just drop these to 1.3" or so, you'll be fine w/o a camber kit after an alignment. If you go too much lower, you'll need the camber kit.
