Default will i need a camber kit if i drop my car 2''??

originally i was planning to just drop my car 1''to 1.5''. but i think 2'' would probably be best for everything all around. im going with the groundcontrol coil over kit. and im wondering if i would need a camber kit with a 2'' drop?thx for any help

Doubt it, make sure your toe is set to 0, however.

No camber kit needed. Decide on your final ride height, and go get an alignment to set the toe correctly. You'll be eating tires until you get the toe corrected. I raised my slammed Integra up 1.5" or so, and had nearly 1" of toe in in the front, and 3/4" toe out in the back. Changing the ride height really screws the toe on our cars.

No need for camber kit. Just make sure you tell the alignment guys to set the toe to 0. Otherwise, there will be no point for an alignment, you'll keep eating tires away.
