You need an alignment to tell you exactly where you are. The Koni shocks are a terrific choice, but will have nothing to do with the Camber. Let me give you the general rule-for each 1" of drop the Camber will change from where it was by -0.75 degrees. Will you need camber kits, maybe. The answer is in the printout from the alignment machine. Whatever you do find ashop that has a Laser type machine like the newer Visualigner from Bean or Hunter. Hondas require a 4-wheel alignment with the rear done first.
In my area I have found that my Honda dealer ($60) and Pep Boys offer the service using the latest equipment and properly trained techs.

Pep Boys and Honda will set camber even if car is lowered? I know some places will deny someone with a lowered vehicle.

I have this same problem!! Where in the hell can I get an alignment done.

Well Pepboys did my 99 Si, and 90 hatchback, and they were lowered. I took my CRX to NTB and they did it also. They even asked if I had a camber kit installed so they could adjust that. From now on I'm taking my cars to NTB (National Tire & Battery).

my honda dealership said they will do it as long as it can go on the lift..50 bucks for the alignment, but i havent done it yet... i have some front end problems right now, so it wont be worth doing it twice...

Whats wrong with a little negative camber. Helps to take corners fast. But i guess if you do a lot of highway driving it could cause problems.
