mmmk ill give my opinion but its your car...
remove the "racing stripes"
get some 15's or 16's and tuck the meats in (tires)
dont worry about a camber kit.

If you have coilover, lower the back more. And how low you should go, it's up to you. BTW, why do you want to install a camber kit ?

17s always look best on a civic. And if you want performance leave a pinky able to wiggle in there. Other wise you get a fked up looking front end.

it doesn't look level so drop the back and forget the camber kit... that said don't take other peoples opinions so highly... it's your car and your paying for it

umm really?!?! no camber kit?!?! don't listen to them get a camber kit... not unless you just like buying tires...
the front is fine just a little more in the back...

worry about getting an alignment to fix the toe, rather then asking about a camber kit.
its toe that kills tires after lowering. you can get an alignment and the tires will not wear unevenly.

if your worried about tire ware just use washers on top of the shock towers where you mount the front struts alot cheaper than a camber kit and definitely an allignment

ya i would definitely lower it much more ,
or as low as you can drive it and ya put that
camber kit in . it will help you with tire wear..

I second that. Slam that ****. And camber doesn't cause th tire wear its the toe that gets outta whak. And causes the tires to wear excessivly

go ahead and install the skunk2 camber kits. just take the old upper control arms off and replace. no big deal.
just know that youre not finished until you get an alignment.
