I lowered my car awhile ago on stock shocks, and I'm thinking of either just buying new shocks or coilovers (but I honestly don't think I'll want to spend the money to get them). But my camber was messed up when I lowered it, and was wondering if the alignment would fix this, or if I'd have to get the camber top mounts (which are expensive in themselves).

I got an alignment and it fixed my problem. From what I hear, our cars are nothing like them Hondas. Once you lower a honda you need to have a camber kit installed. But for us guys all we need to do is get an alignment, now how long will this last Don't know, but so far so good for me.

Cool, that's all I need to know. I hope to get new shocks soon.

Has anyone used these for their alignments?

Whether or not you require camber bolts depends on how much you lower it -- generally, an inch or less won't require camber adjustment, but each car is different, particularly after a decade-plus on the road.

My camber was at the standard for my car after lowering. Another owner of the same model, who installed the same strut-and-spring combo, had to install camber bolts.

However, removing your struts and then putting them back generally means you'll need an alignment if not for camber, then for caster and toe-in. It's one thing if you disassembled and reassembled the same parts while matching up the prior settings; it's another to take one type of part off and install a new part of different design.

if you drop more than 2.5in. then i would say to be safe get the camber kit. as maskedman(derrick) told me good alignment can be achieved w/o camber kit.

Where can get find a set of boots like this:

I really don't see the difference with that boot compared to any other.

I didn't mean that it was different, I was just wondering where you can buy the boots at.
