Default chamber kit or no chamber kit?

alright guys i just bought a new ek4 (after getting to an accident which killed my other ek4) and i am planning on to put on some H&R race springs pairing them up with some kyb agx. the drop is going to be 2" in front and 1.75" in rear, i am going to be rolling on some 99 si rims with falkin 205/50r15 do you guys think i will need a chamber kit for drivablity and safety? or should i be fine with just a zero toe alignment? i've searched on this topic already but just want some more input on this matter. thanx

Depends on what your intentions are with the car...drag, road course, just a daily driver. The added negative camber from the drop will greatly increase your conering attributes contributed with a proper alignment of course. I would say dont bother, just make sure you get your toe corrected.

At only a 2" drop you wont see dramatic changes to your camber enough to be bothersome. It will only help in corning so either way it doesnt matter. Just up to you whether you wanna retain factory camber specifications and have the drop using a camber kit.
