for an answer: do you purchase a camber kit only when you lower the civ? Or is it necessary if you are lowering the car with eibach prolines and stationary struts/shocks?

Or is it just better to get someone who knows (professional) how to align with aftermarket suspension parts?

Update: as of current I have decided to go with Eibach proline springs, I'm still looking for shocks and struts thinking Koni but i'm not sure I want adjustable

again u dont NEED it when u lower it, but its recomended. and u dont need it with stock springs, but u need it with aftermarket springs, the shock doesnt have alot to do with the camber.

No you dont only purchase a camber kit when lowering. You purchase one whenever you cant get your alignment angles back within factory specs. I am not lowered and I have them. Now if you are going to lower your car, you might as well do it the right way and spend the $130 or so for the camber kit. Dont be one of those loser people who drive a wanna be street car with tires half bald from really negative camber. do it the correct way. In the long run you will save in buying tires.

It doesnt matter how good someone is at doing alignments, if it is out of specs, it is out of specs, and there is nothing that will bring it back in no matter what the tech does. Now it could be a bent part that is causing it to be out of spec, but other times, normal wear takes effect.

And dont tell me you did search and didnt find anything because at the top of the suspension forum there is this thread

And if you type in camber kits in the search bar, it pulls up thousands of threads about camber kits, most of which have been locked because of too many being started.

Streetglower said it best

It is Eibach ProKit, not proline. If you car is a daily driver and you are lowering for appearance, then get the tokico blues.
