I have a 2000 civic ex and I have searched to find that some have said that if you lower your less than 2" then you don't need a camber kit. I want the Tein S Springs that lower 1.9" front and 1.7" rear. With an Alignment, do you think it will be ok??

 

I have those exact springs with KYB AGX shocks. The front has dropped like 1 inch only and the rear has settled and dropped about 1.5. Nice stance but not too low, I didnt want that big a drop anyhow. If you want the slammed look, these springs arent for u, get race springs. Good luck.
I have a 97 DX coupe, stock motor etc

 

I have those springs, mine is dropped as to what they say. I got an alignment but my camber wasn't off that bad, my toe was killing my front tires though.

 

Did u do actual fender to ground measurement? Just curious?

 

Any time you lower your car you will NEED to get an alignment.

Any time you change your car's ride height you also change it's camber, which throws the toe off as well.

I doubt you'll need a camber kits to keep your tire wear even, but you will need to at least get a toe alignment for certain.

I run Tein S Techs on one of my hatches and I do have a bit more negative camber than factory specs allow, but so far my tires are wearing perfectly even. I have even taken the car on a 700 mile and 1000 mile road trip since the lowering and the tires are still perfect.

 

Thanks alot. Really helps.

Exactly what I was going to say.

You don't need a camber kit. Just ignore the camber and have the toe set to factory spec.
