Exclamation A lowered Civic needs a Camber kit??

I have a '94 Civic Dx and thinking about lowering it on '17 inch rims. It should look phat as hell, but was wondering if the lowereing springs will cause negative or positive camber??

If so, where could I find a camber kit for my car and how much would it cost? Is it easy to install or should I get professional help? Provide links!!...if possible

Need help...any suggestions will be great!

When you lower a car you get negative camber (tops of the tires tilting inward).

Some negative camber is prefered as it makes the car corner better. Anything more than a 2" drop I recommend a camber kit. I'm actually dropped about 2.25" and run about -2.5 front camber and -1.8, since I autocross alot. My tires wear evenly.

skunk 2 camber kits are easy and they come with instructions all you really need is the tool to pop of the stock parts but you will need to get your alignment ajusted cause your toe will be mess up and they can fix your camber at the same time. tops to install a camber kit should be 45 to an hour

It Would Cause A Negative Chamber But This Depends On How Drastic The Drop. Drop The Car First Then Take It To Get A Wheel Alignment, They Will Be Able To Tell You If You Definitly Need A Chamber Kit Or Not. I Think After More Than A 1.75 Drop You Need A Chamber Kit.
