Default Lowering my 97Civic

I have a 97' Civic EX 4dr and I am getting ready to lower it. But i was wondering if I need to get a camber kit or not Ive heard yes and no on this subject and I want to know for sure. The Springs I am using are Tein Stechs and they will lower it 1.5inch approx.
so I dont know if i will need it for that slight of a change or not. Please let me know all you can Thanks

I dropped my car 1.85" F and 1.5" R and only needed the rear camber kit. There are some people on this board that never needed a camber kit just an alignment.

I would get the stuff installed first than take it to get an alignment. They'll tell you whether or not you actually need it or not.

I though the Tein S-Techs dropped only 1.3"?

I got neuspeed sport springs on my 97 ex that lower it 1 3/4 inches. didnt seem like it was squatting too much..But it sure as hell showed on my tires..insides were showing metal bands and the outsides still had plenty of tread.So i ended up getting an ingalls camber kit for the front and back.
