Default Camber-age......

Ive been reading the searched posts and looking at pics and such, and im a little confused.......in most cases, it appears that once ppl lower their car, they need a camber kit, yet they only get the front ones? Is this because the rear wheels arent affected as much as the front ones or something??? Im plannin on lowering 2-2.5 inches and i kno i will need a camber kit, but do i need both a front and back set??? This may seem like a stupid question if there is something im missing, but it seems that a majority of you only get fronts, show installs of the fronts, take pictures of the fronts etc....yet ive never seen/heard anyone talk about purchasing/ installing a rear camber kit. lol if someone could clear this up for me thatd be great, im just trying to price these damn things out, yet i dont kno what ill be needing!!! thanks in advance

it's because you can fix it yourself for 30 cents, see the "washer trick" http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=744

front kit isn't even necessary, negative camber in the front will make your car handle better, and it's bad TOE settings that eat your tires. get an alignment after lowering your car.

because they don't know better [8D]

of if they have macpherson struts, it's a different system entirely (01+ civics)
