Alignment does not fix camber problems, it just aligns them so they are both 'parallel' to each-other.

would a 1 to 1.5 inch drop require a camber kit?

You must already have a camber kit then because it's not adjustable from the factory on a Civic or Integra.

I personally wouldn't want my tires to be straight up, negative camber can greatly aid handling abilities. I'm dropped about 2.5" w/o camber kit, no problems yet for the past 30K miles.
