well, you need to be dumped to get a decent amount of camber.

Most Accord owners get new upper control arms with adjustable ball joints.  You can get new adjustable ball joints, but I think there are clearance issues with the stock upper control arm.

The reason I said you need to be dumped is because there is a limit to the range you can adjust the ball joint.  As the car gets lower, it naturally gives you negative camber.  So if you're current ride height gets you -4 degrees, you can get -4.5 by going lower.  It's something you have to play with and find the right balance.

What offset are your wheels?  If the offset is too low and you cannot get them to tuck in with ride height and camber, then be prepared that you may not get them to fit without either pulling the fender or getting wider fenders.

So, you don't have a camber kit right now?  I have the Ingalls camber kits in the front and rear.  As Mark said, there are clearance issues with the Ingalls ball joint style front camber kit.  If you are really low, they will hit your shock tower if you're not careful going over bumps.  The only front camber kit that I know of that is the upper control arm style is made by Junk2.  There may be others that you can find, but I haven't really done the research yet.  Maybe your boy could do the research for me too?  :D

well yeah wut alpha said was exactly on point! (thnx for lookin out alpha btw) i have the same thing sitting at the house but we started lookin info up and theere will b clearance issues beacuse it will not give me enough negative camber unless i buy the upper control i forgot but another brand makes it also megan also.. and i would have to dumpppppp it and trimmm the fenders AND rollll them outt like crazyy since the wheels are so wide WITH an offset of +20! and i dont have coilovers so it would ride crappy as hell... SMH , so even AFTER all this money spending i would not b able to DAILY DRIVE the vehicle unless i wanna go thru tires like socks >>> LOOK AT THE ATTATCHED PIC
