Let me know if you want to get one from Kwai. I need to get one as well so maybe they will cut us a deal or something. Always looking to save some money ( - :

Just so you know (if you dont already) When they drop your car you will need to an alignment. I didnt realize that when I had mine done last week and when I drove out I was like what the F*ck!

Most people wait until they get their camber kits to have it done. Otherwise I guess you might end up doing it twice.

Get SPC rear camber kit from Eddie(Truehonda) and install them yourself.

nope and the springs are very easy to install. i did mine a week ago and it took all of 2 hours for all 4(first time on a 7th gen). as long as you have an airgun to take the front camber bolts off, its super easy. if not just hope you have alot of wd-40. of yeah and spring compressors if your doing it by hand or else it could get kinda dangerous takeing the old springs off.

I didn't have rear camber kit when I had Tein s tech, but you definetly need it.
Can't do alignment obviously but will do installation.

Aligment = 50-60
Spring, Camber kit = 200+
at shop.

It's easy diy, as long as front axle doesn't pop out during install lol.

You NEVER want to use airtool to put lug nuts for wheels.
Over torque = Disaster.

Diver is on a distinguished road
definitely get a camber kit(SPC) for front and rear, even if you arent dropping more the 1.5. its better for your car and tires in the long run. also noted as for chicago regional peeps:
