search "rear washer trick" to see a cheap and very reliable way to fix your rear camber, and then for the front you need to get decent one. I would suggest the new Omnipower front upper control arms because they are cheaper than skunk2 for the most part and are a quality peice

How much of a drop is the S Tech? Isn't just a ~1.8" drop? Your camber shouldn't needed to be corrected unless i'm wrong about the drop.

With that much of a drop, a camber kit is almost necessary. I have a 2" drop and camber kits were necessary on both front and back. I have Skunk 2 in the front and Ingalls in the back.

You never know if it neccisarry before you get an aligment, most hondas their spec is .5 to -1.5 degress of camber, I have ran with -2.0 for a long time and got over 35000 miles on the set of tires I was on. Get an aligment first, then see if it is neccasiary, toe is your enemy camber is not.

the alignment machine where I got mine done showed -2.0 being the absolute limit for ok camber.
I'm down about 2.25", and used 3 washers in the rear, and they're like -1.5
for the front, I have omni UCA's, and they're great. they're in spec

yea it all depends on each cars alignment. a friends 92 accord had a 1.5 drop and it ate tires in 5,000 miles. all the tires were bald to the point where u can see metal.

I just paid for a new ball joint and a toe alligment. so far it seems to have almost solved the problem the guy at the shop told me that he thought that my problem was the toe from the bad ball joint. Should I even worry about a chamber kit now, my tires already need to be replaced from the horrible toe problem.

Do what you want to your ride, and go really really fast.

Well, you should still get a readout of your camber to make sure you don't need a kit. I mean, just because toe was the culprit now doesn't mean camber won't be later

Sometime's it's just obvious. I dropped mine around 3" all the way around and it was definitely needed.
