If your lowered more than 1-1/2 or 2" (cant remember which) you would need a camber kit I always thought... but even at 1-1/2" u can run more negative camber than usual...

No personal experience, but Eryan36 works for Eurosport Motors in Norman. Might give them or hboy7777 at Steve Bailey Honda at try
or check the Local Resources thread for more options.

with the rear skunk2 springs installed, you're going to be way too low for factory adjustments to take out all of the negative camber. they simply just drop the car way too much.
DO NOT BUY SKUNK2 LOWERING SPRINGS FOR THE S2K!!!!!!!
even after they settle, they make the rear of the car sit about 1.5 - 2 inches lower than the front!!! (i'm an a.s.e. certified mechaninc, and yes, i put them on correctly, i've installed many sets of suspension/springs on many hondas, including s2k's)
i had to cut 2 FULL COILS off of my front springs just to get the car to level out. the rates for the rear are waaaay too low. surprisingly, it still rides ok, but it is now too low on the stock shocks, so i'm about to buy some nice, real coilovers. never gonna try lowering springs again.
the 1 time i go with just regular lowering springs on a honda instead of buying fancy complete coilover suspension, i get screwed
i posted pics somewhere, i'll try to dig them up.

What are peoples thoughts/comments on the ''GODSPEED'' Coilover system?(they range from $500-$630) has anyone ran these coilovers? I would like to know what I'm getting into,if I was to buy a set. I'm looking to buy coilovers very soon and not looking to break the bank. Thanks!!!!
