New here, question about camber kits

Hey guys, I'm new here . I have a 2002 Civic Lx coupe, silver (of course). I sware I roll up on my own car like 20 times a day! Anyways, I had a question for everyone thats lowered. My bf bought me neuspeed sport springs for my bday, and I can't wait to put em on. But I need a camber kit (or so I've heard). Has anyone heard of Sprint camber kits for front and rear? Or is anyone on them? My main concern is that sprint uses bolts and washers, while every other company uses EZ arms like specprod. I just wanted to know if the Sprints will work cuz they will save me over a hundred dollars. Thanks!

Cedar

sprinit camber kits are the one on ebay, the front camber kit will work but the rear wont. the rear are just a bolt and washer. the rear camber kit look like a control arm. u have like two options for the rear camber kit spc or ingalls

Ahh great.. another SSM civic in NorCal.. j/k I do however have one to.
The cheapest place I could find the SPC kit online is here: www.iapdirect.com

There's a group buy going on for these also at www.groupbuycenter.com but I think its the same price. Not sure if the shipping is different though. I priced the same kit locally and the cheapest price I got was like 80 bucks a side.

you dont need a camber kit for the front but you might for the rear.. i havnt gotten one with my neuspeed sports, i think i should be fine tho...

I have no idea if Specprod is SPC. Thanks for the info about the camber kits. I know a lil about cars, but nothin major. My bf is the brains when it comes to stuff like that. And no, Im not one of those girls who has their bf do their mods for them. I pick what goes on my car, he helps me install it. (Ok, so he does most the installing and I just stand there and look cute.) But anyways, thanks guys!

My boyfriend said yes, specprod is SPC. Dont have 160 bux for camber kits right now. How far have any of you guys gotten on your stock tires with Neuspeed Sports and no camber kit. My boyfriend says that camber will be almost -2 degrees and rear will be around -3 degrees, which is alot, more than double the negative camber of his 6th gen accord coupe.

However, the civic is much lighter than the accord, so is it possible the really bad camber in the back doesnt make a huge difference because theres basically no weight on the rear tires. Anyone with experience please give a mileage estimate on stock steelies.
