Default Camber kit needed?

I have a 2000 SiR (Si for the americans) I just ordered Eibach prokit springs (1.5front and 1.1rear) when I get them put in am I going to need a camber kit? I held off on the Koni yellow right now but I will be getting them installed a the next few months.

I am runing the Eibach Sportline spring I thing they are, the red ones not the black ones. They lower my 98 Civic 1.8 inches and I am running front and rear camber kits but I feel I did not need them. It would have run a little negative camber but it would not have been more than a degree or so.

WOW I will be putting my stock upper control arms on my Civic since the JDM Sport ones I have are not the best at holding the camber. I will be leaving my rear camber kit in though since I have a 98 Civic. Need to reset the toe soon anyways. Good info.

I just installed the Eibach prokit (the black springs) on my SiR (Si) my friend just put Eibach prokit on his TSX and said that his rear is just over 3 degree of negative camber. Thats what I was asking about the camber kits. I love the drop, not slammed but minimizes the wheel gap. I am on stock wheels right now but plan on getting 16" wheels

Assuming you pair those wheels with the correct size tire, your wheel gap won't change. Also, camber doesn't chew tires - toe does. Period.

I have a lot of stuff on my car that I didn't need. Just like nearly every person ON H-T.
Camber kits necessary? No.
Want camber kits? Get them by all means.
Whatever you get, don't get junk.
