Default camber kit question

How much of a drop would I have to be at before you would recommend getting a camber kit to prevent wear on the tires?

Once you go under 2" then you will start having camber problems...so usualy a good height is 1.75" all around...I had that with my 17" on my civic and the camber was fine.

Keep an eye on how your tires wear.

On my girlfriend's Civic, she has 15"s with just about that same drop if not higher. Even on her Ingals set-camber, she wears just slightly on the insides.

Well, base on his opinion and on what I've seen, decide between the two. Most importantly, just notice how your tires wear. You should be able to tell.

its kind of a money thing, If I need a camber kit I'll have to wait a while till I get some more money, because I only have enough for rims plus tires, and I already have shocks and coilovers, if I need a camber kit then I'll probably just roll on the stock steelies for a while
