needed front camber kit on H&R's sport springs at around a 2" drop in the front. My camber was off about a negative 1.25 degrees. ANY drop you will need to fix the camber, but lesser drops won't wear your tires as fast as more excessive drops. With a 1.5" drop, get the ingalls kit that corrects you a full 1 degree in the front..should be perfect for that drop..

I feel kind of retarded responding to a thread started by my brother, but here goes. My drop must be close to 1.5" at least after settling of the pro kits. I can visibly see a small amount of negative camber from behind in my rears, but I've taken my car in twice to my alignment man to have them checked. Both times, my camber has checked out well within specs. Our cars have a negative spec from factory. That means you do NOT want your car to have 0 (zero) camber after an aligment.
I can't remember what our factory spec is, but it's something like ~ -1.25 spec. The rear definitely required the camber kit, but the front can withstand a decent amount of drop (.15" or so) before requiring a front camber kit. The main thing to rememer is frequent tire rotations and THINK 0 (ZERO) TOE, not camber. A bad TOE condition eats up tires much more quickly than does a bad camber.

front camber spec on our cars are -0.6 to 0.4 positive. At least thats what my printed readout said on the sheet..The rear camber is a little more negative spec at -1.8 to -0.8 This factrory spec for camber was at a very good tire/alignment shop.
