Default Camber Kit necessary?

I got a 2000 Accord coupe, just dropped it about 2". I'm going to get an alignment, but is a camber kit really necessary ?

Thanks

i dont have one, the tires will wear a bit quicker, but nothing too crazy

Neither of my Accords have them, just an alignment. Both are lowered about 1.5 to 1.8 inches.

I just got my front end aligned after a year of having it dropped....went through a set of tires for my 18's, and 2 sets of stock tires. Just got the 18's back on with some brand new tires, and an alignment so it should be all set.

Once you drop your car, the toe becomes misaligned, so once you set that back to 0 then it's all good. You won't need a camber kit unless you want it for the visual effect (straight tires)

after you get an alignment just look at the printout and see how bad your camber is. if its like -.5 degrees or more then i recommend getting one.

I had -1.2 front and -1.5 rear on my EG with 2.25"-2.5" drop and my Azenis didn't have signs of camber wear at all... gotta have some fun in the curves and no need for a camber kit at that point, only toe alignment

I presently have -2.4 and -3.1 on my EK...that's another story
