well there's no camber kit available for the 2IS. and since the CS are coilover it just depends on how low you go.

Also, just an FYI...there are no front/rear camber adjustments for the ISx50. There are only toe adjustments.

to be honest with you guys, camber doesn't really help if your IS is slammed unless you have a lot of fender rolling. I have slammed my car on CS and I am kind of glad that the negative camber came into play. For the front wheel, there's a bolt that hold the front bumper to the fender. If I didn't have the negative camber I would have to shave all that metal and roll my fender for both the front and rear.

Very true, camber doesnt help prevent tire wear for lower the car.. But when I said about 1.5 inches, and yes it do need camber.. On Honda Civic, I take the car to alignment after install the camber kit. About few months later, the tires are worn and Im dissappoint the camber kit..
