I am not sure what goldlines settle to but i think you should be all right without.... but hey, they are only 35 bux or so for the pair...

Rep Power: 0 $35 is kinda a lot... you can find SPC front camber kit for around $20-$25 if you look hard enough
but yea, because the way the front suspension is designed, you won't get that much camber change when the height is changed compared to older model civics/integras
however, the rear camber goes negative pretty drastically as you lower more..

you heard correct.
I wouldn't worry unless you are going 2" or more.

My suggestion if your gonna drop your ride go all the way and get a camber kit for the WHOLE car. If you look hard enough you can find some REALLY good deals, found the whole Ingalls kit on Ebay for $115 shipped.

my advice is get the camber kit all around... I had the pro kit before which is only 1" and had no camber kit, well it made my tires so bald on the insides I almost had a blow out... Just get the kit, its not expensive and it will save your tires in the long run.... don't go half *** with your car, if you're gunna do it, do it right the first time....

Anyone who suggest to NOT have the alignment checked 
Just some background on myself ive been in the automotive field for over 15 years, 9 of which was doing mainly wheel alignments, suspension, and brake work. Some shops will even give free alignment checks! I did Eibachs on my civic and it took the Camber on one wheel to the max negative camber and the other side to just beyond max negative camber on the front and about the same on the rear ( damn stereo equipment ). Typically thou your Toe setting is what will be more critical of a setting and can cause much more rapid tire wear. But if you spend the kind of $$$$$ i did on tires camber kit is well worth it. And lets not forget to rotate them tires
