It's usually good to get a camber kit with anything lower than 1.5".

I use the ingalls front camber kit (a-arm replacments) and the rear upper arm replacements. They work good but are costly. I'm dropped about 2.5" on H&R coilovers and they were necessary.

ok, i have heard that anything over 1.5 in, and you will need one. Spend 200 on really nice camber kit, andyou wont spend 400 when ur tires are shat
