^^ meh, mine are like 2 or 3 revisions old and lasted 14 months before the rears went out, and the fronts are still cherry after almost 2 years and over 20k miles...the newer ones have different damper oil, better seals, apparently better construction, and clicking damper adjustments. I can't vouch for their longevity, exactly, but they should last longer than the ones that have been giving some people problems.

to the OP...aside from what comes in the box, you don't NEED anything else at all to install them on your car. A camber kit will only help with a little bit of tire wear, but be SURE to get an alignment as soon as you set the ride height to where you want it.

You should be able to install them by them selves. I would recommend a camber kit, but its not needed. I would also get an alignment shortly after the install if you change the height.

If you're not going to be slamming your car (IE. tucking tire), I would recommend NOT getting a camber kit. The camber kit upper arms stick out more and likely will hit your shock towers when they compress (especially with EG and EF civics), eventually poking holes, making them weaker, etc. etc.

Just put them on, set the height, and get an alignment. If you're not slamming it, you're not going to have so much camber that it'll eat through your tires. Toe eats tires much faster than camber does.
