Re: ek drop question. (EastSideImports)
it won't be absolutely necessary but it wouldn't hurt, either. When you get an alignment after dropping the car, they'll usually give you camber specs. You can decide from that if you need/want a camber kit or not. I'm dropped 2.5"/2.25" front and rear and don't use one. I should ... but i don't. I'll probably get one soon, though.

You dont need a camber kit, it will just save the life of your tires. I roughly have a 2 inch drop on my ek and i go through tires sort of quick because i am not using a camber kit.

Re: ek drop question.
i'm 1.75 front adn 1.5 rear, i did the rear washer mod for the back camber (cost $2 and now its at factory specs) and the front is at -1.5º of camber. i got a good alignmetn ($60) and my tire wear is perfect.
whoever says that their camber messes up their tires are wrong, its all about the toe in/out being fixed by getting an alignment.
