Anyone know where I can find a camber kit that includes a replacement a-arms like the Skunk2 for the Hondas?

I also wanted to know if I install my new springs (Tein S-Tech 1.5 all around) will the camber on my wheels look visibly stupid or can I wait a week or so to put on the camber kit, I haven't ordered it yet. Also, do I need more than just the front and back camber kit when I install the springs to make it just work for now?

One more thing, what special tools will I need to take out my old springs and install the new ones?

Do I have to get the struts now or can I install the springs and get the struts later. The springs are going to be here on Monday and I really want to install them as my new rims are going to be here on Monday too.

I would wait. because you need to put the springs over the struts and shocks so basically if you do the springs now you are making the job twice as difficult since youll have to again pull out the suspension use the spring compressor and remove the spings just to install the KYBs. Youll regret it if you dont wait for eveything

Should I order a camber kit for the front and the back or just the front?

Also, was Tein a decent choice for springs?
