    Honestly, you would be better off waiting, saving and getting the best your money and your financial situation will allow. If you just purchase springs you will regret it later. I would look on American Ebay and see if anything pops up. If your willing to save for a while I would recommend the Buddy Club N+ if not a Ground Control/Spoon Spring combo with KYB AGX or Koni's (again if your finances allow).

    KYB AGX + Spoon Springs (Exact drop you wanted) New <$1200
    Koni + Spoon Prog. Springs (Unsure of Drop) New >$1400++

    Unsure of Spoon Straight/Ground Control prices considering the AU$ is r00ted at the minute you would be best to probebly buy locally.

    I was thinking of selling my combo in order to purchase a set of FIGHTEX coilovers...but I decided to buy wheels instead...however if your willing to wait we may be able to arrange something. Pretty sure modification would be required to fit DC2 suspension into an EK...would have to ask around.
    u think just bc u drop the car u have camber for cornering?

    camber kit is available bc honda have crap camber tops that dont have camber adjustment.

    getting a good alignment on shocks and springs would be as good if not better then coils.

    EDIT: who would pay for a camber kit to remove negative camber on a honda?

    Alot of people pay to remove it due to abnormal tyre wear and the lazyness not to get tyres rotated regularly.

    Then imagine good alignment on coils it just continues on...in general depending how well the springs are engineered the negative camber they give will improve cornering over the stock camber angles. eg. The spoon springs i suggested are designed to give a drop that provides negative camber which has been tested to improve handling.

    I agree, a good wheel alignment can make the world of difference but camber adjustment kits (particularly for the front) for honda's seem to have some serious design/strength flaws...i personally would prefer to spend $400 more on suspension and then get a good wheel alignment later...your better of doing everything properly from the start if you're going to go into that much detail.

    a $5000 suspension is nothing with a shit alignment.

    ppl spend $400 to remove camber wear with less handling?

    only ppl that i know would spend money to remove negative camber, are high powered rear wheel cars that drives like on ice.

    want great handling? go more negative.

    I agree to an extent. My mate has 5zigen coilovers probebly 14/12 with a desperate need for alignment. Compared to an ITR with Shock/Spring with alignment there is no competition his still enters corners faster accelerates out of corners and is much much more responsive.

    I honestly do know heaps of people who buy camber kits to remove negative camber or at the very least return it to stock. People don't want to spend money on tyres...they maybe noobs in your eyes...but if performance isnt your sole concern...then I suppose they don't see the point...

    Anyway keep to PM as its flooding the Thread. Cheers.
