What to do with '96-'00 Civic
If you lower the car, make sure you do something about the negative camber that will result. You will go through tires much faster without proper adjustment. I went with Skunk2 upper control arms and rear camber links because of the quality craftsmanship and use of polyurethane bushings which will make your car really handle well. I got mine off of ebay and have no regrets.
Other members here can vouch for this through their own experience. Reaper_2022 used to have a 92-95 Coupe that was slammed with no camber kit, had 3º of negative camber, and his tire wear was fine also. He just had toe set to 0º.
Without a camber kit, you'll lose a few hundred miles off the life of your tires... not a big price to pay considering a good camber kit for both the front and rear is around $250 or more. An entire set of decent tires can be had for $225-250. Save the money and just buy tires 6 weeks earlier than you would with perfect camber, not a big deal. You can put the saved money towards your new tires.
