what car?
If its for a civic, hatch or coupe/what years (ill explain this after u answer)

what suspension combo?

are you sure its exactly 2 inches and 1.7?
I had something like this and it dropped it more then what it said for my car.

Yes its a good idea to have a camber kit if you have a camber issue

dude instal the springs and let them settle for about a week or so then get an alignment....you really dont need a camber kit unless your set on not haveing alot neg. tip in. just get your toe in set.
