you won't need a camber kit with those springs. trust me, i have them. and i also have the same shocks.
your camber will be a little more negative than factory specs, but it won't be enough to cause your tires to wear more quickly or strangely.
a little negative camber is a good thing anyways, it helps with control around corners and such
your camber will be barely even visible after the drop with those particular springs and shocks.
this is the kind of camber you can expect: (to get a better idea of how vertical it is, compare it to the mailbox in the background. the way the bumper is curved makes it seem like more camber)

wheel looks great, and yeah a smaller wheel makes it feel like it has better handling

it was basically a direct fit.

-disconnect battery and wait 15 minutes...go figure
-disconnect airbag, 2 seconds
-remove airbag, 30 seconds
-remove center nut, 1 minute(had to go out and buy a 19mm socket)
-disconnect all other wires, 30 seconds
-pull wheel off, 1 minute. I didn't use a puller, but kept trying each side until it came off.
-put new wheel on and secure it, 30 seconds
-connect all wires, minus cruise control and mount airbag, 1 minute
-reconnect battery, 15 seconds

test drove it around the block and everything worked well

This was another easy mod. If you have the tools ready this takes probably 25 minutes max. I'd say 2/5 for difficulty, just because the wheel was stubborn coming off.

If I got the newer s2k wheels I'd have to do other stuff for the airbag, which is why I bought an older model wheel, direct fit.

how much did the steering wheel cost you?
also, do you know if the S2000 steering wheel column cover will fit on there?
am i gonna need to replace those plastic pieces you mentioned or did they just not come with your steering wheel?
after seeing this i plan on doing it also. lol

idk if the column would fit. I've seen it done on older civics but they said some work had to be done to fit the column.

the wheel was $330 with shipping. Dealership charges around $800 for the whole thing and most of the time if you find them complete with airbag asking price is around $400-$500. I got lucky on ebay.
