Hi guys. I finally installed my rotors/pads and SS Lines (a thread with pictures will be up soon). Now it's time for a drop. As most of you know I live in Puerto Rico and streets here aren't very lowered car friendly. I was thinking of one of these springs:

All of them will offer a mild and even drop which is exactly what I'm looking for. Which of these brands is of superior quality ? Also they will be paired with OEM shocks for a while until I save up to get some koni Yellows. Any input on these or a suggestion for my setup will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All 3 are fairly well known brands that people have reported mucho satisfaction and reliability.  I think that you will be satisfied with whatever you choose of those brands.  I would strongly suggest a rear camber kit if you don't want to ruin your rear tires.

Will this resolver my camber issue? I know the Ingalls is the preferred brand but are these bad? I've heard/read good things about them.

Nope.  Those aren't bad at all.  As you pointed out, the Ingalls rear camber kit is better.

But I'd be fine with the WCK?

Sure.  I believe Paul has that on his coupe and he has been fairly pleased with them.

Thanks a lot Tim. U've really helped me out since I bought the Accord a year ago. I think I'll be going with the Wicked camber kit and the Eibach Pro-Kit or H. Techs. I'm still not decided.

To be honest, all of those springs are pretty good.  If I were in your shoes, I would make a decision based on the desired drop and spring rate.  I prefer a comfortable ride, so anything higher than 9k in the front and 6k in the rear would make things unbearable on poor road conditions.  I only say that, because that is the spring rate on my suspension and it's perfect for me under normal road conditions.

Well I found out that the H-Techs have a 5.3k Front and 3.3k Rear Spring Rates so they fit under your specifications for a comfortable ride in harsh roads but I tried finding the spring rates on the eibach but had no luck. I even went to the website and they don't have it either. Both of them offer the same amount of drop which I'd be happy with. Now I just need to know the spring rates on the Pro-Kit and I'll be able to make a decision.

Well my eibach springs never got here so I've decided to go with the H Techs but I found a pretty good deal but I'm skeptical.

Are these legit Tein H-Techs?

That looks right. But they also said in the auction that those were generic pictures. The price also seems to be on par with what they go for.

H-Techs FTMFW

Yeah. I think I'm decided. I need to hold them off for a while since some unexpected things happened and I need to use the money on other things but they'll be on the car soon.
