Negative camber will actually handle better, it will keep you in the turn. 0 camber, where the tire is flat, will give you better launches for drag, but it will give you the effect of the car "ice skating" on the road.

On the skunk2 kit, if you put the Left side kit on the right side, and vice versa, it adjusts the caster...it makes the car more stable at high speeds, and have a quicker turn into corners. I did it, and it's worked great so far.

yeah, i know the theory behind the camber kit, but i didn't know if the integra's had enough negative camber already or a bit more helps cornering a decent amount and doesn't hurt straight line grip too badly.

If I go with Ingalls Camber kit, which one would I need if I went with an H&R Sport setup?

You cannot adjust stock camber since there is no way to, thats where the camber kit comes in

Go with the Skunk kit. I have a pretty low drop. When I went to install the SPC (like ingalls), it pushed the upper control arm out so far it hit the seem welds in the fender. The shop that sold me that kit said it's common to "trim/cut some of the weld away". Yeah right!

the misconception is that negative camber will KILL tires. thats not true. having a negative will decrease the life of the tires, but wont kill them.

if you are going to lower the car mildly, you can even do without using a camber kit. IMO, i would say lowering it 2" is the line where i would definitly get a camber kit.

what usually kills the tire quickly after changing the suspension is the toe reading.

after you change the ride height, take it to an alignment shop ASAP. after that, remember to rotate the tires every 4-5k or so. which reminds me i have to do mine.
