Yeah, make sure they know you have adjustable camber. So they can adjust it. A good alignment shop will know how much camber to have. Check around in your local area to see where everyone is taking their ride. You want someone who works on sport compacts often and will not charge extra for a lower ride. Some places will, good luck :D

definitely emphasize to them that you have adjustable camber. A lot of shops have a computer that tells the alignment tech how to adjust the camber. The computer will say that the civic si does not have adjustable camber, so they may just fix the toe, and then leave the camber as is.
That happened to me the first time I took my car in. After that, I bitched for a bit, and now only the head tech does the alignments on my car. :D

I just installed my Progress springs also. Funny I just replied on another thread about alignment issues. Had a 94 Accord coupe dropped prior to my EP3, and it was tough finding a shop that would align it. And if they did, they often half-ass it and still charge me extra.

I have figured anything involving taking out the springs, you should get an alignment.
