When to get a camber kit
I'm looking at dropping my car somewhere between 1.5" and 2.25" (trying to decide which springs to get) and am on 17x7's (going into winter, it'll be all-season 15's) and next summer, looking to go up to 18".
At what point is it worth getting a camber kit?

You can do the washer trick on the rear since you have a 97. Search for the info.
The more drop you get, the more correction you'll need. With a 1.5, might not any...2.25, count on it.
For the front, see what people have good luck with. My 6th gen has pretty high tolerances up front...I have about 1.75-2.0 up front, and it's still in the specs. Not sure how 5th gens differ.

You can put the camber kit on when you install the springs jut set the camber to a nominal setting. Like someone said you can save some money and do the washer trick on the rear. Just wait like 2 or 3 weeks before getting an alignment. You need to allow the springs to completely settle before adjusting the alignment.
