You will need a camber kit for those springs... I have them and there awesome, but the rears will wear if you dont get one.

 

just a rear camber? or front too?

yeah i know when the springs finaly settle and everything the rear will be cambered in.... but when i aligned the car.. wasn't yet cambered in yet..

just the rear because the front hardly never cambers in.... so if ur planing on buying a camber kit do not get the fronts because its a waste of money... iv been doing alignments for 3 years now and on 01 - current civc and rsx's the front is never cambered in (unless in a acident) just from lowering.... the rear yes allways.. the suspension is not like the 96-00 civic or integra because i know for a fact on those cars the lower u go the more facked up the camber is in the front and rear.....

 

Honda went to a front strut suspension in 2002 and there is no camber adjustment in most strut setups. I just got my car aligned yesterday after installing Skunk2 camber arms and Tein S-tech springs. The fronts were almost perfect, but the mechanic had to do some adjustment to the rears to get them as close to spec as possible. I was lucky enough to get a guy w/ a modded Tiburon and a tuner himself to work on my car. He did a great job.
