your stock shocks should be fine with the h techs and you won't need a rear camber kit either

The S-techs are a sportier spring that lowers the vehicle more (1.7 F and 1.3 R). The front spring is a stiffer rate but the rear isn't as stiff as the High Tech which means they must use a shorter coil. The High TEchs are more comfort-oriented with a drop of 1.1 F and 0.7 R with a softer rate in the front but a stiffer rate in the rear than the S-Tech.

If you need a set PM me.

i have Stech with stock shock...well it rides somewhat close to stock ride quality, cuz i personally TSX stock setup are pretty stiff compared to all the other cars that i had...well if you want to go lower get the Stech...i didnt do any camber adjustment...no camber kit just alignment...

And FYI...i have a set of Stech Brand new, still in box for our car...PM me if ur interested.

That is difficult to say. You really need to get an alignment to see if your camber is off. However, the rear, IIRC, has some negative camber from the factory so a lowering spring will generally give you a little more negative camber. In my experience, many TSX consumers buy the rear kit and not the front. So it couldn't hurt to get the rear Ingalls camber kit so you could adjsut toe and camber. Here is a link to info and pricing:
