dont get springs. if u get springs ur gonna end up blowing ur struts. the only replacement struts right now for our cars are Konis. they go for about 500 shipped i think. what u need to do is click on the link below and join the Group Buy on the Full Hayame coilovers.

I've had eibachs on mine for 2 years on oem struts none blown yet. But as far as the camber kit the only way to determine if you need one is to have the alignment checked after its dropped.

Please refer to the suspension faq
http://www.7thgencivic.com/modules.p...Suspension+FAQ

ALL springs lower more than 1". You probably dont care about how much now but do you really want to spend $200 for your car to look stock?
The stock shocks should last quite awhile with most springs. Sleeved coilovers tend to blow them out easily however. Anything lower than a 2" drop I would highly recommend a camber kit. Anything higher and as the guy above said, an alignment check will tell you that.

All this is basically is covered in the suspension faq tho and you can find plenty of info by browsing/searching the suspension forum.
