Default will I need a camber adjustment kit

I was reading on there that if you drop the car more than 2 inches that you will need to get a camber adjustment kit like the one that skunk 2 makes, I have some TEIN springs out in my garage, and I'm waiting for the man in brown to deliver my Tokico struts, after combining those, will I need one of those kits?
anything you can give me will be appreciated, thanks

I run Tein S-Tech springs on my ek with Tokico blues. No camber kit needed. I took it in for an alignment anyways.

All cars react differently to being dropped. I'd recommend getting a camber kit for anything 1.5in >. And get an alignment.

depends, more than likely yes, fix the rear with washers (Cheap way) and get a front camber kit. I got skunk 2's front camber, never had a problem since

I lowerd my fron at about 2" and it almost looks like I have + camber. I just got the skunk2 upper control arms for 170.00. But if I was you I would put your springs on as see what you have. If you have the money to order a front camber kit that is. You can ride on shitty camber for a few days but not too much or you will loose rubber and start to bald out tires 4sho

camber kits are never needed on a street car.

to have camber affect tire wear you need to be in the -3 range or worse. horrible tire wear comes from toe

My car was lowered more than 2 inches. I only used washers for the rear and left the front camber alone. I liked how it felt with that much neg camber in the front. My tires did wear fast but it wasnt due to the camber
Toe on the other hand can be fixed without a kit.

I have a red Skunk 2 camber kit, used it on my 98 Civic EX only for about 2 months before it was taken off and I went back to stock ride height.

If you're interested, message me (email or AIM) and we can talk prices.

If the price is right it might be worth it just incase you decide to lower it any more or if its out just a little bit.
