Its different depending on the struts, springs, and the car itself whether or not you need a camber kit. With that drop you may not need one, but an Ingalls camber kit of ebay (which works great btw) is only about $150, so if you don't want to have to take everything back apart you can just get it and do it from the beginning. Your choice though.
