so i just want to get rid of the space between the tire and the wheel well its about 2 inches maybe. But if i just put lowering springs on it will it eat my tires alive? like i have seen some lowered civics where it looks like the wheels are slanted in at the top which makes the tire tread wear real bad. so bottom line can i just buy lowering springs or do i have to get some kit?

You should be fine with some H&R sport springs (don't even know if they make them anymore) but as long as you have a decent alignment you should be fine. Watch out for excessive toe because that will eat your tire faster then chamber problems

i did a 2 inch drop, eat my tires up, i bought new longer grade 8 bolts and a bunch of washers at home depot and straitened out my rear camber, and for the front i just bought a camber kit, i kept the car in alignment, but still eat my tires. cheaper just to fix it while you have it apart while you have it apart rather then go through a set of tires and then realize you need to.

i need to clarify what i wrote. i only fixed the rear camber, and the back tires wore fine, but with the 2" drop i eat tires in front until i got the camber kit for the front, saved a lot of money using the washers in the rear.(don't know if that matters to you)

Negative camber doesn't wear the inside of tires.

Toe does.

An alignment will correct the toe back within specs.

It will wear evenly.

Increased negative camber will wear tires quicker than zero camber but the wear will be even.

If you want a cheap fix to the rear negative camber, you can always do the rear washer trick.

Be aware that lowering springs will greatly decrease the life of your stock struts.

Once your struts are worn, your tires will wear very quickly, most likely due to cupping due to struts no longer keeping the tire in firm contact with the road.

If you can pay a few hundred more, get struts and springs put on at once.

Drive it a week or two to let it break in then get an alignment.
