Dont worry about camber kit.. Some people say camber kit wont help the tire to not touch the fenderwell.. I used to have camber kit on my Civic and it wont help..

Camber kit has nothign to do with the fenderwell, it's to adjust the tire to get even wear...I would get it if your stock camber is not allowing for the proper adjustment.

If your drop goes lower and into your feder wall, then don't get a camber kit. This will make the tires adjust straight and then you'll have the tire actually sitting on the fender, which you don't want. Plus, a negative camber actually is better for turning, just a little not to much.

i have the teins, i doubt u will need a chamber kit...maybe the chamber bolts, i have a little bit a neg. chamber, VERY LITTLE, you can't tell unless you sit and stare for minutes, my tires seem fine right now, its been a little over a 1000 miles so, yea....AND tein didn't recommend any chamber kit either, they DO tell you to cut ur bumpstops, i think it was the bumpstops, well u have to cut something about an inch in the front, i'd say do it...i bottomed out once and didn't like it at all, most of the time is great~
save ur money and get something else
