teins s-techs are sopposed to work with your stock shocks from what iv read in a magazine and you wont need a camber kit because its not that much of a drop, its like a 1.8 all around so you will be fine, iv had mine on for about 6-7 months on my stock tires and iv had no tire wear at all...and there cheap, about $160 i think, im not sure i didnt buy mine i got them new free for working at a shop
I just talked to a guy who has this set-up. His stance is phenominal. He said the only downfall to running S-Tech's with stock shocks, is that its a little "mushy" in the corners. But as far as a daily driver is concerned, he said hes driven his daily for the past year on the same setup, and never had an issue.

EDIT: Here is his ride...

Awsome!
I'll be getting me some Teins because I have mad wheel gap.
I wanted to get springs a while ago, but I was worried my wheels would go / \ and have the tires worn out on one side.
Thanks for checking!

If I had to guess, I would think that's more than a 1.8" drop. Hmmmmmm. looks good.

Well, like I said hes had them for some time, maybe they've settled in to that point?? I honestly don't know.

I can only assume that the stock shocks on an Si are different than an Ex, which could also contribute to his stance looking a little more aggressive.

Anything more than 1.5 inches is where you should start considering cambers... 2 inches is risky... These guys know their business but i would stick with 1.5 and keep stock cambers so i wouldnt blow more cash. With some 17s... oooh baby
