Yesterday i went to the shop to buy some coil-over spring and camber kit. One of the guys inside said all the new honda don't need camber kit because he said there somthing that build in into our car that can adjust like a camber kit. So.. i didn't buy it but i just wondering do i really need a camber kit? i planning to lower my car 2 in front and rear 2.somthing.

yes, please get a camber kit. It will save your tires. The suspension is different then previos civics and what he told you MAY be true for older civics, but the new civic needs a camber kit for back especially but just get the front also.

Trust me, get a rear camber kit!! I went for about 3 weeks without one after I lowered 1.75/1.5 and my alignment was way off and I'm sure my back tires got chewed up. Just got it installed and finally starting to enjoy the ride again.

I can tell by looking at my wheels with my car at a 2" drop that the back camber is way off. the front looks ok but if your gonna get a set i would just get a full set instead of just the front/back, might as well do it right.

Oh yeah, i think i read some where that Nitto Neo-Gen Tires are made for cars without camber kits, they must have a angled tread patch or something, guess i'll have to read up on it.

I just lowered my car and got the camber kit and I drove around without an alignment and the tires were all slanted. As soon as I got the alignment my car improved like u can not believe.
