Granted every car is different, I did not need a camber kit after I installed my S-tech's when I had them. My alignment specifications were still in range, although the rear was close to needing it. I'll find my alignment sheet and give you specific specifications later.

If the drop is between 1-1.5 inch drop you will be fine. Once you start going toward or past the 2 inch mark you will need a camber kit.

Yes, you will...

After I lowered my vehicle (03-RSX) the camber was way off, and the rear upper control arms mount vertically not horizontally like my old civic. So no shimming them.

FRONT CAM BOLTS



REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS

Goes to show every car is different. If you want to play it safe, I'd go ahead and get the rear camber kit installed at the sametime, that will at least save you the cost of another alignment. I think -1.5 degrees is the maximum range for the rears, and you'll be damn close to that if not exceeding that w/ those springs. Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure my rear camber measurements were -1.3LR and -1.2RR.

I have the ****-techs... sorry, S-Techs on my Si, and I did put in a camber kit. For the money, it's really a good investment.
