the camber kit is a replacement control arm.

Impossible to determine. Depends on how bad it gets, and how much toe can be realigned into the rears. Its far easier to just get the arms and correct it than waste tires over something stupid like not getting one.

yes but is there a guarentee there will be any wear at all with 1.3/1.4 drop? can't the stock rears camber bolts handle that or am i wrong?

Tires wear at 0 drop. They're always going to wear. There is no stock rear camber bolt. Its not a bolt, its the control arm, and you're going to have A LOT of camber back there if you don't fix it. Stop being cheap and buy the camber arm. Its $130 insurance and a lot of headaches saved.
i am not being cheap. i just got told by many people that the s techs didn't wear their tires more than normal thats all. i just wanted to get the story straight.
My 01 civic has been killing my pocket and tires.....the rear I know needs a camber kit the tires look like / \ so my friends say I think there \ / I really don't know the tires wear out from the outsides never the middle {|} and the front of the rear tires seem to sit \ I need suggestions..."HELP"
I just got my S-techs and I was wondering if I should put the springs on now? My camber kit is on backorder or something so i wont get it for a couple weeks. Should I wait untill I have the camber kit and put them on at the same time, or can I put the springs on now and have one less thing to worry about later?
Anyone? Im putting the springs on tomorrow unless im told other wise...

Its a good idea to let new springs settle in before installing a camber kit with an alignment... I always suggest to my friends that if they drop their car that they should ride around for a couple weeks and let the new suspension break in before any alignments.
