Default Camber kit question

I have a 95 Accord LX and am planning to put on some Coilovers in the next week (in tha mail!!) I want about a 1.8" drop in the back and 2.0" drop in the front. Will I need a camber kit? Also, at what drop point will I need a camber kit? I do plan to raise and lower the car to attend scca solo events also plan to change wheels to do this so Im' not worried about tire wear on my street wheels.

Thanks for any advise.

Whenever you drop your car it's a good idea to get a camber kit. I have Ingalls on mine..I like it. Ground Control makes a killer plate kit.

If you need a good set of full coilovers see my sig.

its a good idea to have one, but everytime u adjust ur coilovers your gunna have to go get an alignment print out to see how much the camber has moved, then adjust the camber setting accordingly w/ the print out, and then get another alignment to have the toe and caster settings adjusted. so once u drop it and have the camber kit all set, its good to just leave it. im dropped 1.75 up front and 1.5 on the rear and i dont got a camber kit because of clearance issues. the camber kit was banging on my inner fender wall everytime drove over a bump. i didnt want to bother with bending my control arm or shaving/banging in my inner fender. i just have my tires rotated every oil change. if i get some better wheels w/ expensive rubber then ill probably put the camber kit back. inner tire ware sucks espeically on expensive rubbers.

i agree with bonestock. u need camber kits bc 99.99% or the time, dropping ur car will make ur alignment off. Camber kits help fix that.

I know people have been saying that the washer trick for the 99-00 for the rear camber on the car doesn't work but, is there any other way instead of paying 300+ for the kit?
