I am planning to lower my civic in the next couple of weeks but need some help. I have a set of dropzone struts and coilovers +/-3". I could really use some help with the install. Also do I need a camber kit? Any recommendations?

First rec. sell your current setup and get something good.
If you lower more than 1.75" yes you will need camber kits, stay above 1.75" and you can get away without having them.
Most people don't understand what adjustable height suspension is for or how to use it properly. So your best off sticking normal lowering springs and a good set of struts.
With adjustable height you WILL need an alignment with every height change, also corner weighting should be done every time as well.
