My 2000 Civic EX is lowered on tein s tech springs with dropzone struts. I've been thinking about taking it in for an alignment, since I haven't done it since I've dropped the car. But I'm not sure if I'd need a camber kit. What I don't want to do is take it to get it aligned, pay for the alignment, and then be told that I need a camber kit and then need to pay for another alignment after installing the camber kit. So my question is, will a camber kit be necessary? The drop is only about 2 inches all around.

 

You need an alignment to set the toe, so your tires don't go bad before your next oil change.

If you go without a camber kit, they'll tell you that you need one.

Did you just answer your own question?

 

Thanks for your help. So what camber kit would you recommend?

 

Has anyone tried the blox racing front & rear camber kits? I can get a pretty good deal for them, but I wanted to know if it would be worth getting. I'm not too familiar with that brand.

 

Just get the toe set as close to zero as they can front and rear and don't worry about the camber kits. If you want less rear camber use some washers to shim out the rear UCA before you get an alignment. If they try to sell you a camber kit say no thanks, if they will only do an alignment with a camber kit installed go somewhere else.
