With thoose settings your should not need a camber kit IMHO, however they should be able to change the toe on the car without you having to buy a kit for that.

the only thing you will need is adjustable front upper arms, or camber kits. The rear you can shim out w/a few washers. They were just trying to sell you extra stuff....im sure they know about teh washers, but they cant be liable for telling you... they gotta go by the books.

im not sure of what size... but im sure someone knows... but the upper control arms are connected to the body w/2 bolts. If you use washers behind those, it pushes the top out, in effect adding positive camber. I would only suggest using this for ~ 2 degrees or 3-4 washers on each bolt though. If you have to use more than that, you will have to find what length the bolts are, and just get slightly longer ones than stock but that are still High quality since you wouldnt want one snapping.

Dropping your car 3" would for sure qualify for some type of camber kit. You're right that they could adjust his toe alignment without a kit.

Currently I am in the same boat with my suspension. When I was rotating my tires I noticed that my tires were wearing bad on the inside of the tire. I didn't think I would need a camber kit either and I am only dropped 1.75." I was able to find a camber kit that would work for my set up. They are the OBX Racing camber kit.

well a friend of mine has a shop, and for like 150 bucks he could get me Skunk2 Front Upper Control Arms and SPC Rear Camber kit.

im going to raise my car to about 2 from 3. the wheels are biting the fenders when more than 1 persons in the car. and than get cambers installed and adjust my damn camber.
