"what a camber kit does is realign your tires. if you drop your car more than 2 inches your tires start to go inward. you can actually see this if you get behind your car and look and both rear tires. if you dont't get a camber kit what will happen is you will get uneven tire wear. you'll start to see your tread disapear much quicker then if you had your tires straight. you'll also get better traction with your lowered ride if you get a camber kit because it puts your whole tire on the ground as suppose to just the insides of your tires. hope this helps " - aemtunedcivic

Camber kits are used to adjust the inward or outward tilt of your tires as compared to a "perfect" perpendicular setting. Hondas don't come with a way to adjust camber, so a camber kit is needed.

Almost ALL cars with the ability to adjust camber. They have to. What they don't have to account for is the added capacity to adjust for suspension drops. It's this EXTRA amount of adjustment needed with many suspension drops that will make it neccesary for the application of a camber kit to take up that broader angle.
