You're definitely oging to need a camber kit with this drop. It is about a 1.8 drop or abit more, pretty aggresive. As far as the ride goes; it feels waaayyy stiffer than stock. My 1st setup was stock shocks with this springs and my ride was pretty low but if I took a turn pretty hard I could feel the stock shocks giving in. I got the skunk2 shocks to compliment the springs and I'm pretty happy with them. They're much stiffer than stock and the ride is a bit lower. now I need a sway bar

I am on skunk2 springs with stock shocks right now.. drop is hella sweet, the ride is a little different, you can feel a bit more of the road, and bumps but **** it. Your definetly gonna need a camber kit.. im like 2 degrees off in the rear, hnoes: but the front aint that bad

Their coilovers are awesome. I have a 95 accord, of course a little different than the civic, but I have their coilover sleeves with their struts and it really makes a big difference, and yeah defintely get a camber kit. But the main thing is getting that Toe 0'ed out. That kills tires quicker than the camber.

100% on the money... the toe will kill your tires 10x faster than the camber.
