Question camber question

I plan on lowering my civic lx on neuspeed sofsports. They lower the car 3/4 of an inch. If I drop it that little will I stil need to get a camber kit for every wheel? And also do you think kyb gr2's would be good enough for that drop or no? If no what should I get that is still low in price but better than the gr2's?

YOu really only need a camber kit if you drop more than 2".

I believe toe angles wear out tires quicker than camber. As long as you get your toe within spec you should be fine.

So as long as I get my tires aligned after I get the springs on I should be set?

why bother with a 3/4" drop ? and to answer your question no you won't need a camber kit. make sure your toe and the caster are set thou, or it will handle like crap

The reason why I am going with a 3/4''is becasue I live in ct and in the winter I wont be able to drive a slammed car. I know I can get coilovers I just want to get the sofsports becaus ethey say they are just as good as the sport springs they just don't lower the car as much.
