Default simple spring question for my 94ej

the car is stock and i wanted to lower it,I was planing to just get Tein S.Tech Springs with kyb agx shocks and just upgrade my rotors n brake pads

the question is... Is it safe to ride around like that or do i need to get something esle to go along wit it
i would just like to know how i can go about gettin a nice comtable lowered ride without having to worry about any
issues after i get the parts installed

This will help u guys

Car- honda civic dx coupe
tuned ls/vtec
stock everything esle


I just thought i'd ask people that actually know what there doing : )

That is a very decent set up. Just check your alignment after the install to see if you need a camber kit to make any adjustments,

more then likely your'e going to need a camber kit and an alignment because your toe can get off balance a little

Exactly why would he need a camber kit?

Toe eats your tires, camber very very barely does.

There's a guy locally rolling around lowered 3" or something without a camber kit and his tires are fine.

s techs have a pretty mild drop which should barely make a dent in his camber settings. Toe can be adjusted with the alignment. Don't scare the guy. Do the swap, get a four wheel alignment and enjoy the ride.

Might as well install a small rear sway bar while you're at it, it'll def make your ride better
