You don't "got" to get them, but they are recommended.

if you can get the alignment back or very near to stock setup. you do not need a camber kit.

i had a 2.5" drop with no camber kit and i was in good shape.


if you want to adjust your camber for the track or what not, get yourself an adjustable kit.

I only dropped my SI 1.75" front and back and I need a camber kit. Even with an alignment all they can correct is the toe, not your camber issue. I would get the kit to be on the safe side.

depend on weather or not you want your tires to wear evenly...

Go get an alignment & talk to the tech thats doing it.. They will be able to tell you if your camber is off & then from there you will be able to make a decision to get it or not to!

Camber has very little to do with how tires wear, its all about toe.
