I recently purchased Tanabe DF 210 Springs for my 2007 Accord 4 door I4, and when my brother saw the package, he said that I couldn't just install the springs, and that I had to buy a camber kit and new shocks. Is this true? And is it possible for you guys to list out some brands of some good camber kits and shocks. Thanks guys !

It's a good idea to use aftermarket shocks/struts, but you don't HAVE to. How many miles are on your car? The more miles on the original struts, the less time/miles they will last. With a 2" drop in front and 1.7" in the rear, a camber kit may be needed, but toe will eat your tires faster than camber will. Toe can be corrected without a camber kit.

63k miles.

I did the same thing, stock shocks with dropped springs. One shock started making noises after a while. Better off swapping it all at once aftermarket struts have a thicker rod and designed to take more abuse. I ended up taking my suspension apart twice and I wished I did it all at once.

Do it right. Get aftermarket performance shocks and camber kit and swap out everything with 1 labor cost. You WILL blow your stock shocks on higher rate springs sooner than you expect.

What brand of shocks and camber kits do you guys suggest, or what do you guys currently have in your car?

Least expensive Tokico, most expensive Koni.
