Yes, you should be fine with the camber kit bro. I have been running on STECHs for a few months now and everything seems to be fine. Great investment

I bought my spc camber kit from truehonda.com AIM: Truehondacom for 250$ shipped and most say the front camber kit is not necessary but its only 20$ for them so why not get them any ways. Tell him I sent ya and who knows maybe he'll give you a discount.

Let me know if you need anything esle bud.

It wasn't hard at all to install with the correct tools of course. make sure you get the camber kits. its a great investment and will be good for you in the long run. GL bud.

Now if you want you can take a look at this thread bud. I'm actually selling my stock SI struts with S-Techs already on them. So all you would need to do is take your stocks off and put these on and install your camber kits and you'll be set. This option is great due to the fact that you'll still have your stock struts and springs handy if you want to go back to stock height. or you can sell your stock SI suspension to the ex.lx owners.

Let me know if you want them. PM me

Check around for a price on a camber kit. I've seen a few websites that have them for 165. Corsports is one of them I believe. 250 is very high

The 165 price you saw was the comptech one. The price is for one arm only and you need two for the rear.
