you really start needing camber recovery adjustment below 2" in 7th gen, i do believe 6th gen is similar.
though the 6th gen is lower from factory

Re: 2000 Civic EX Coupe Lowering Questions

With a 1.6in drop, no camber kits are needed. And with 6th Gen Civics, since they utilize a double wishbone suspension, there is no need for toe adjustment kit (There is adjustment built into the front suspension, and no one makes them for the rear, since toe doesn't change with lowering.

Just make sure to get the car aligned a week or so after the suspension is installed, to allow time for the springs to settle.

And that tire size should fit perfectly if your wheels aren't too wide.

this is incorrect, at least with 5-6th gen civic's, lowering WILL cause the toe to be incorrect in which terms a rear kit will be needed to correct it. There is a factory adjustment (5-6th gen) that can be SLIGHTLY adjusted.
