You most certainly need the front kit. And besides at 25 bucks it is hardly worth a set of tires.
I don't mean to rant, but there is always a right way and a wrong way. The right way is to use one set of the widely available kits to correct the camber. Using them guarantees your car will be aligned properly. Without them, you simply cannot do it and accept it if it is off.
You may get lucky and your car will not be out of specs and not need one. But that is probably rare and only if you lower it only about an inch. Just factor it into the cost of doing business and do it right. NOTHING looks more rice than to see a Civic going down the road with the outside of the tires barely touching...

as for the rear, someone posted their alignment spec sheet after lowering their car with eibach sportlines and it showed that even with the drop, everything was in spec. i think you really should get one for a drop thats lower then 2". a 1.75" drop is debatable.
