Do i need a camberkit if dropping a 96 integra?
i'm plan on putting in some H&R springs so thats about 1.7/1.5 drop.
Is a camberkit required for this drop to prevent tire dmg?
If so what do you recommend
Thnx

skunk2 camber kit.
checkout OptionJDM: Performance Parts & Accessories good prices
If you lower your car and dont put a camber kit. your tires will be on an angle. Which will cause the inner part of your tire to ware out. Poping several tires in the summer.

You get more camber in the front tires than the rear. If you REALLY want to be safe and not get any wear on your tires I say just worry about the fronts. But I doubt you;ll need the kit for 15's, 17s maaaybe, what size tire is on the 17s?

Lower your car and see how much camber you get on your rear. You dont get much at that drop hes going for. If any. Im at that drop if not more and I havent seen anything on my tires. ***** barely noticeable. Camber is for people who are down 2.5 if not more.

After you get the car lowered, get a alinement done. If you have any more then 1.5 degree of camber, you are going to kill your tires. I fine up to 1.5 degree of negative camber will not kill your tires that fast, but anything more negative will, so just get a alinement done after wards. I do alinements on lowered hondas/acuras alot at work.

At one time, I had spoon SW's. and then just stock acura rims another time.
This is 3inch drop. only the front is lowered. bolts were stripped in the rear so i didnt have the back lowered here

It is not necessary to have a camber kit installed. However it is highly recommended that an alignment be performed after the act of lowering your vehicle.
If not, Toe out wear will eat the inside of your tires. Toe wear is what eats away @ tires much more aggressively than negative camber.
Honda-Tech actually has a sticky on this;
No, you DO NOT need camber kits!!!!!!!! - Honda-Tech

If you plan on tracking the car then camber is a must or your sidewalls will be eaten off of your tires in 1 track date, but as for just lowering i wouldnt even bother getting camber just get alligment done, i have 17's on mine just not lowered yet 
and tires are mint as the day i bought them and that was 2 seasons on them and 2 drag days.

I have a 2.5" drop, and I need camber kit, I have 2.8 degrees of negative camber, and kills tires every 2-3 months, but like I said before, if you have more the 1.5 degree of negative camber, your going to kill your tires fast.

Yea youre gonna rub on the top with 205's if you go any lower. Im guessing now you'll just be rubbing along little bumps here and there. But its true, get an alligment done. What youre doing when you're lowering the car is changing the way the tire hits the ground and the way it comes back up. In some cases theres is no need for a camber kit and you'll only need an allignment. Like I said also, worry more about your fronts. The back you can do the washer trick, loool.

This is why there are so many ricers/car accidents/bad drivers.
This is what seperates the ricers from the tuners.
If you cant afford to do it properly, then just wait until you have the money.
This msg isnt towards anyone. Just in general

Nope, it all depends on how low you go. I find anything more then a 1.2" drop, and your going to start going pass 1.5 degree of camber, and that's when your going to start killing your tires.
I was running 15's last year, with the same drop I have now with my 17's, and my 15's only lasted me about two and a half months on the tires, all because of the drop I have.
