My 99 Si is lowered about 2.5 inches, and the tires have wires stickin out. I never adjusted the camber, the inside of the tire is twice as worse as the outside. What kit should I get for the best price? How do I know what setting to put it as? I'm thinking about doing the rear washer trick in the back to save some $$, but know I need a front kit.

Do I need a camber kit, or just an alignment?

You need new tires if you have wires sticking out.

x2.

Get new tires and you don't really need a camber kit just make sure you get your toe set to zero. If you insist on a camber kit just install them and have your local alignment shop align them for you.

Thats great news... I don't really have the $$ to spend to get a camber kit. I have enough for tires, but I was holding off until I found out what I needed first.

So no need for front or rear camber kits? Just new tires and an alignment?

make sure you tell them to set the TOE to zero or within spec and you should be str8. As for the rear you can do this washer trick which is really cheap just search on here or on google.

So an alignment will take care of the front, but not the back? I'll still have to do the washer trick in the rear?

Thanks for the info so far.

An alignment isn't a necessity (although I went ahead and got front and rear camber kits for my Civic), however, you need to have the TOE adjusted...along with new tires.

But if you're bent on getting a camber kit, I'd recommend the Skunk2 one. I got mine (front and rear) for $315 shipped.

Ok 2 questions left then.

No camber kits needed, do I HAVE to do the rear washer trick?

Can I just go to a shop and have them adjust my front and rear toe to zero with OEM equipment (minus coils/struts)?
