Did you read the suspension threads in the FAQ and also try doing a search?

When you buy cheap coilovers for the DC5/RSX, you get what you pay for. The low-end Tein stuff is just that. They don't start getting decent until the Flex.

No RSX/EP3 coilover adjusts camber in the rear. You will always need a camber kit.

thecolombian has Tein S tech springs, the drop is mild but looks good.

I have Tein Flex coilovers and have it to the max in the front and some room in the rear still. I LOVE my drop.

if you get s techs on stock shocks they'll be no need for camber kits unless u decide to upgrade! pretty good ride IMO.
