Default neuspeed sport springs

I am thinking of getting the Neuspeed sportspring for my 97 civic which would give me a 1.85f and 1.5r drop but I dont want to have any type of major camber problems or have to buy a correction kit. Will these specific springs cause these problem or will I be ok. Also how long will my stock shocks last with those springs till I can get the money for new ones.

these springs should work fine with stock shocks for a while. I have them on my 95 ex with stock shocks and after 3 months the ride still feels great. I guess that would depend on how agressive you drive and how harsh the roads are. The gave my a tad bit of negative camber on both my civic and integra but nothing major. I think this actually makes the car handle better on sharp turns.

I had neu race b4 and had ZERO probs with VERY bad tire wear. I know have a solid 4" drop daily on my coil overs and the wear is the same as it was with the 2 and 2.25 drop. There only tires. So I say dont worrie about it and if you do get a camber kit. Just make sure the shop knows how to install it correctly cause Ive seen ALOT of them squeek like a mother %$@*$&.

i have them on my 94 hatch with stock integra shocks and they ride okay...you may want to check out most of your suspension bushings though...because in doing so you may prevent premature tire wear. after i had my springs in for half a year...my camber was -1.3 on the driver side and -2.0 on the passenger...and changing some of the bushings using energy suspension ones helped out a lot!! brought my camber back to -.3 which isn't bad at all...

I have some for my 93 accord and they work great. the front tire wear is sorta bad and the back isn't very noticeable at all. It's a nice drop that won't scare you on speed bumps and parking enterances. Neuspeed

I have sport springs on my civic.. and with low profile tires.. I scrape...
with 185/65 14's i don't scrape as much..
A good alignment is NECESSARY
you will kill your tires if you have > 0 toe up front or in the rear

are you sure you've got sport springs? 185/65 14's are kinda big. you should have 185/60 or 195/60 14's. i'm not saying you're wrong or anything but it's just cause i have'em on my civic and i've got 15' konig burners w/ 205/50 15's and i haven't scraped yet.
