a camber kit is one of those things that some people are gonna say you without a doubt need it and some people will say it's a waste of money. is it mandatory you put on on there? of course not...but it really is something you should do. if you don't then your tires will wear very unevenly and much faster than if you do get a camber kit. plus bad camber just looks bad.

Fully adjustable camber setups are very nice... being able to set things up within .1 degrees on every wheel is what's nice for the best handling.

A camber kit is definitly worth it, but when people lower their cars and blame the bad tire wear on not having a camber kit, that isn't always the issue. Toe will cause more tire wear than camber ever will. Even though I definitly recommend a camber kit, make sure that you have your car aligned. If you don't have the cash to get a kit, at least get the car aligned to have the toe straighened up. Toe adjustment is one adjustment that the Civics do have from the factory, btw.

BTW, if you do go with the race springs, be ready to have a super slammed car. Most cars with those springs have about a 2.25 drop and tuck all the way around.

This is very true, out of toe will eat tires faster than camber.
