Default Camberkit or no? help

I have a civic with eibach springs. I just put Si rims on the car and i was wondering since my car is low, would i really need a camber kit? I just took my car to firestone to get it balanced and aligned. Would i still need a camber kit? I know a friend with a lowered civic blew his tire once a month but he had 17s with out a camber kit. I had regular steelies on my lowered civic and didnt have a problem *actually i was had the same tires for like 4 years and there were steel wires coming out of the front two tires*

some feedback would be appreciated. If i do buy a camber kit, would it be hard to install? Thanks

You can have someone dial in your camber without a camber kit. I had it done on my Civic about a year ago. Once I got the ride height where I wanted it, I had an alignment done, and the camber set. No more unusual tire wear after that. Camber kits are a waste of money IMO unless you are constantly adjusting the ride height of your car.

Where can you go to have your camber dialed in. I just have eibach springs, so no more adjusting. Yea i really dont feel like buyin a camber kit if i can just get this done. Thanks for the input

And I would just say fuck it, but the car is going to go to my fiance, and i dont want her having a fuckked up car. And the tires pop and all hell brakes lose

Do a search on "wheel alignments." I posted this info a couple of weeks ago with all the contact information for Bert's Alignment in VA Beach.

camber kits are for pussys lol

If you only have lowering springs on si's, you should NOT have a problem with tires blowing out!! The eibachs dropped you what, 3 inches? I had my car about 3 inches off the ground, on 17s-- that's an issue You should be FINE, seriously
