Re: if i....... (lechuza05)
I think anything beyond 1.5" requires the need to adjust toe. I had my old Civiclowered about 1.75" on Tanabe GF210's and Koni Yellows... I thought I needed a camber kit, but I just told the shop to align it and was told to tell them to adjust the toe to 0 or as close to 0 as possible. The alignment shop aligned it and I drove it for half a year (before it was stolen) and about 4,000 miles or more. Never had uneven tire wear at all. Everything was straight...

You don't need a camber kit for that drop.
The front camber won't be bad enough to need to mess with it, and two washers on each UCA bolt will correct your camber enough in the rear to make your camber trackable and have suitable wear for daily driving.
A little camber is perfect. The toe is what eats tires.

**had** H&R races. My new car is still stock.
Toe can be adjusted by the alignment shop. Toe is VERY Key in normal tire wear, it usually gets out of spec when you lower your car any amount.
When you get it aligned tell them to ignore the camber, just set the toe to 0 or factory settings.
