I lowered my car 2.25 I have a 93 Honda civic CX and i just bought new tires about a month and a half ago. And i need to buy new ones already I bought a camber kit But i was just wondering if its a bitch to put on and can i adjust it without having to get an alignment so my tires will be straight instead of slanted like a mofo.

Anytime you mess with the suspension you should get an alignment. When you get the alignment they can tell you if the camber is within specs too. You can fix the front camber with a camber kit....but the rear you can do some ghetto engineering with some longer bolts and washers. Camber kits shouldnt be too terribly hard to install...but then when I lowered mine my camber wasnt bad enough to need one. But Im no expert just putting my $0.02

The thing that will wear out your tires faster than camber is if the toe setting is out. Meaning that your tires arent pointed straight ahead. With a camber kit it is easy to set the camber by eye without the use of an alignment machine but to read and set toe you will nee to have a professional align it. If you live near the Sarasota area I can do that for you.
