Default Eibach Pro-Kit, KYB GR2s, and chamber.

My car is basically a 94-97 Honda Accord Coupe EX 4-cylinder for anybody that doesnt know. My car is about to hit 132k and the stock/original suspension has had it. I am all over the fuckin lane and its "wobbly" on the highway. This is my daily driver and just want some clarification for anybody that has had this setup, etc.

Questions:

1. Will the KYB GR2s hold up over time with the Pro-Kit that drops 1.3" front and rear??? They seemed to hold up just fine on my old 94 altima with H&R spring which lowered a little more than a pro-kit.

2. I've been told that I WON'T need a alignment kit with the pro-kit to keep the car perfectly alighned to factory spec.

yeah, you wont need a camber kit unless you go 2 inches or more. hell i drove my car with a 2 inch drop for 6 years without a camber kit and it did fine. then i put on the eibach pro kit with koni yellows, but it wasnt low enough for me. i just recently put on neuspeed race springs, and ingalls camber kit, but im lowered about 2-1/2 inches now.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

Yeah, I just want a slight drop and a little better handling, nothing harsh/extreme. I also want to keep my tires

i HIGHLY suggest getting Koni shocks.

they recently came out with new ones that will last 150,000(basically "the last set of shocks you'll need to buy")

The Koni Sports I assume....?

I really dont care about adjustability. As long as the KYB GR2s will last long and not be super harsh, I would be fine.

my tire wear is great since i took my car to fred cox on florida ave. they do a really nice job on dropped hondas, and they dont even need a camber kit to set the camber on a 95 accord, they press the spindle. but i didnt find that out until after i installed the camber kit. if you're worried, just take it to them to set the camber and toe, they'll do a good job.

^Thanks for the info, I planned on getting it all re-aligned after replacing the springs and struts myself.
