Check out the Suspension FAQ. You dont need a camber kit, but you'll want one to save your tires and money.

If you want to keep your tires for a long time I would highly recommend a camber kit. Like flotsamm said, check out the suspension faq

Suspension FAQ answers your question pretty well. Keep in mind, though, that if you slam your ride even lower you'll have to tuck your tires in your rear fenders. Doing so requires quite a bit of negative camber, so much so that many skip the camber kit at the expense of shortened tire life.

My setup's geared more towards performance than looks. I dropped my fronts about 2.25" and my rears about 2". Any lower than that and I'd probably start having tire-rub issues on my rear wheels. I'm running 0° of camber on the front and about -0.75° on the rear, with an Ingalls rear camber kit...

i have a 2003 civic coupe ex and my ride is dropped 2" front and 1.8" rear. without the camber, it WILL give out negative camber wear but for the fronts, its just a little difference, i bought the whole SPC camber kit for front AND rear but didnt use front. if u want em, PM me n ill trade u sumthin for it.

but u really should check out the suspension faq, its straight forward and answers most general questions about all that spring/shocks/camber/etc stuff.

click on "my ride", im pretty sure i gotta pic of my ride dropped in their.

IMO, highly recommend rear camber kit.. unless u dont give a **** about ur stock tires and have an excuse to purchase better ones in the future lol
