at a 1.2 drop i think you will be ok, a slight increase in tire wear but slightly better cornering too. and its camber, no H. but lets see what other people think

Well its really up to you. If you like to buy tires faster than usual. the best thing I would suggest to do, is to take it to get aligned and see how bad its off then make a decision.

Nitto makes those NeoGen tires and they are supposed to be able to withstand cars with negative camber. I had them for like 1,500 miles before my car got stolen so I can't really preach their longevity, but they are supposed to be specifically for negative camber cars.

camber kits all depend on your set-up(aftermarket shocks-adjustable/fixed-coilovers-lowering springs..etc.), most likely a drop of 1 inch will not require the kit, when you start going lower the stock camber cannot match the drop and thus, positive or negative camber will occur, now the stock unit can adjust but usually not in the range required for lowered vehicles, which is where a camber kit comes in, if you plan to drop it even lower, i would just upgrade to the kit now, if you're staying at thie level, i would have it aligned, and go from there...good luck.

I have the pro kit on my 7gen, 1.3 front, 1.2 rear, no problems at all, and I don't have a camber kit on the front or back. Suspensions could change from year to year or different model, but I haven't had any other suspension up grades and I'm fine. I got the car aligned after putting my springs and wheels on that I was going to have on there. I'm not sure about the 95's, but the 03's took it well.
