an alignment will tell you if you need a camber kit. a little negative camber is actually ok for daily driving.

My car's dropped on H&R Sports and after my alignment my camber was at -1.5 and -2.0. I've been closely monitoring the tread wear on my tires... as of this moment they're fine. All I can suggest is to rotate the tires frequently.

how much is a 2" drop? woulds that have closed the wheel gap just about? on a 99 civic?

So I can have an alignment done at any place right ? Or does it have to be a specific place? How much for camber kit + install?

Yo, 2" drop is alright but it depends on the on your rims. I got 16s and i got the coil-overs spun down all the way in the front, and a few threads higher in the rear. Its looks sick. You need to think your whole project through before doing anything, rims, skirt package etc.

keep in mind if you get an alignment done, and u decided that you NEED a camber kit and get one, you'll have to get another alignment again afterwards (after camber kit installed)
