Yes, I'd say the majority of lowered cars do not have camber kits....mine doesnt and its pretty slammed. You may go through tires fairly quick though it depends. Just try and get an alignment and your toe adjusted after you lower it.

Re: Lowered Integra w/out Kamber kit? (-Todd-)
I was dropped 4" in front and 3.5" in rear. Ran through tires in about 3 months. Now dropped 1.75 in front and 1.5 in rear, they last around 8 months now. I"m not sure why the camber is off so bad. you can just look at the car from the rear and see it's way off.

I'm low. -3.2 camber on all 4 tires.
Been on these tires for 8 months now still great tread. More than half.
No Camber kit.
POS Tokicos and coilovers
Soon to buy KY/GC

If you get the toe set to factory specs, your tires will not wear as fast as you might think. I used to be this low and have never had a Camber kit:
lol "kamber kit" sounds like gimmick/advertisement talk, like "Krispy Kreme"

Re: (red eye teggy)
Mines lowered without a camber kit also, I went and got an alignment right after I finished it up and have had no problems with tire wear.

I've heard that if you drop it 1.5'' or less you'll be fine without it. But anything more than that and a camber kit is necessary or you'll be burning a hole in your wallet on tires. IMO it's worth getting the kit.

If your lowered you need a camber kit. Drop w/o camber kit is rice.

it's not rice unless it's ridiculous (like that guy with the DA who had horrible camber). if you fix your toe, your tire wear won't be as bad.
by the way, red eye teggy, don't but it off ebay. get something reputable. or at least do your homework before you bid on something. cutting the springs or buying generic ebay springs... THAT is more rice than having badass camber.

Re: (dLo GSR-stolen-now-WRX)
No camber kit here either, one car I notice that has wicked -camber is EK rears. It looks dope..but, an alignment can always get her riding supreme again.
