Did you get it aligned yet? If so, what were the results?

the sports drop it around 1.8 - 2.0 inches. usually i reccomend a camber kit to any drop below 2.0 inches. you might be fine with just an alignment. the camber may be off only about 1-1.5 degrees.

It depends on how long you want your tires to last and if you care about having factory settings on your alignment. Plenty of people go without but I like to make my tires wear longer than 10 to 15 thousand miles!

If you get the KYB AGX's you should be ok with an alignment.

I have Progress Auto springs for my H22 Civic and they are a 2" drop. I had it alligned after putting the springs and Tokico Blues in and the camber was barely off... hardly worth mentioning. I don't really need a camber kit but I still plan to get one it's just not real high on my priorities since the camber is barely off.

So Dood has the right answer here I believe

i exact have the set up you desire (without the wheel/tire combo)

my camber is a little under -2 in the rear. not as bad in the front.
i seem to be doing ok after 9k miles. camber wear baaarrrely perceptible in the front. none in the rear. i attribute that to more weight in the front pushing the tires down making camber's effect higher.

my advice:: get an aliignment RIGHT AFTER you put them in, rotate tires normally, and maintain correct air pressure. you shoudl be good to go

I would wait about 5 days to do the alignment. I did mine right after I put the new springs on, and they ended up settling a little lower. I wish I would have waited a few more days until they settled more.
