Camber Question

Hello everyone, just have a simple question, I did the search feature but nothing resloved my question/concern. I just dropped my car 1.5 , and slapped on 18 inch RH evo c5's, some guy at work told me that I should get a chamber kit, should I, is it worth it?, any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

You should technically get an alignment done whenever you lower your car. To do an exact alignment on a Civic, you'll need a camber kit since there's no way to alter camber on our cars. Most people on here will just recommend a rear kit. But the front kit is only like 20 bucks. Might as well get it, just in case.

Check the group buy section for SPC kits... if that's still there.

what springs? 1.5" isnt that much.. i know people with the prokit didnt need a camber kit. our rears come with a -.5 degree camber. spec is around -1.5 to +.5 degree so anything within that should be fine. i myself didnt get a camber kit even with a 1.75" drop(whether thats smart or not is another thing)

nope when i dropped my car i was on stock wheels so i didnt care..
my car also went straight so i didnt think it was a big deal..
yes now i have 18s and now after hitting a few pot holes here and there my car pulls to the right but too lazy/cheap to get an alignment. my tires have a 50k mile warranty so i'm sure they'll last atleast 30k which is fine with me.
