depends if your off by more than -0.8 degrees then you probably wanna get em or it'll be tire wear mania. I don't think you'll need em though, find a way to get the camber after you install em and you'll know for sure.

depends on the car.... mine is dropped two inches in the front and visually you cant tell the camber is off. My rears are bad, you can tell right away.

Well it also depends. If you drive aggressively, more negative camber in the front can also be a good thing. I had -1 on the drivers side and -1.1 on the passenger side in the front, and it still seemed to wear pretty normally. Not anything super drastic as long as you have a good alignment.

BTW, I just looked at my alignment sheet, and factory specified range for the front camber is front +0.2 degrees to -0.8 degrees. The rear specs are -1.2 to -2.2 degrees. My main problem when I got an alignment was that the toe was way off, and bad toes causes more extreme tire wear than bad camber.

My alignment sheet said the same thing about the specs and bad Toe stuff. The $15.00 rear mod worked but I needed to add one extra washer to the passenger side to get it in spec. The front passenger side needs a 1.0 degree camber kit but I haven't bought one yet. The alignment shop said that they would recheck it for free once I had added the kit. This was on a 1.5 inch drop. I would have it aligned immediately after the drop and rear camber mod and then worrie about getting the front camber kits cause you might or might not need them.
