Well today I took out my oem shocks and replaced with tokico blues. Since the change i've noticed the steering wheel is off. It's about 20 degree's tilted to the left for the car to go straight, While installing the blues I also installed an ingalls front camber kit. Now when the car is sitting (in park) and I put the steering wheel where it would normally be for the car to go straight the wheels are perfectly straight. Any ideas if an alignment would help here or am I looking at something else or something more serious?

Whenever you mess with your suspension, you should get an alignment. Sometimes it may look straight but you'll never know until you put it on the machine.

You definately need to get an alignment done man. I just installed tokico blues and tein springs this weekend and I noticed the same behavior when I took it out for a test drive. Like they say... anytime you do suspension work, get that alignment done!
Planned on the alignment, this is the first time i've dropped so I basically just wanted to make sure that I didn't cause a bigger issue. Thanks for the help guys
Any of you guys with the tokico blues have 03-05 civic? If so did you get part#'s HB4020+HB4021 up front and did you have to drill them out to 60mm holes for mounting? Thank you

well the camber is part of an alignment. and you swapped it right out? that is 100% an alignment problem

i have an 04 with Blues, and yes i had to drill them out a bit. patience and a step bit are your friends.
car is fixed. Alignment does wonders. Then the two tires I added to the other two new tires. Followed up by a cracked rim wheels/tires/suspension is expensive.
