it depends...what are you trying to accomplish? answer these two questions..

1. do you care about tire wear.. rate your tire wear concerns on a 1-10 scale.

2. do you care about handling? rate your handling concern on a 1-10 scale.

now add up your scores... (P.S. you only have 10 points to work with from up there ^)

...how much of a drop?
I'm only like 1inch below stock and I'm like 1* negative camber, not an issue at all

tein s techs are normally just below 2in
NO you dont need a camber kit, go in and have them align it and get it as close to stock camber as they can.
and have the toe at 0,
toe eats your tires quicker, camber will but not so much,
