A alignment is pretty much mandatory.

BTW, I have been driving on s-techs for almost two years now and I dont have any camber wear.With my all seasons for about a year and a half and my summers for one season. No camber wear. I should take a picture. But I DID get a alignment.

ORIGINAL: dblclutchin

Well I got my winter tires and rims on that are 15's (1.5" drop) so I should be good but I'll just have to buy it when I put my 17's on this spring. One more question, So I go and get it aligned after I install the springs and struts so when I finally put a camber kit on do i have to take it back to the shop and get it aligned again?
Lol, yea. The camber kit doesn'tadjust itself. Make sure you check your tires frequently, I had noticeable tire wear within 2 weeks.

you can also destroy your tires from bad toe settings; unlike camber, toe IS adjustable on older civics, don't know about your car though. I still say save the $60 to get a professional alignment.

If you have noticably bad camber, just use the washer trick on the back. Most likely your camber isn't going to be badthough with s-techs.
