Nope...no need for a camber kit with new LCA's, but an alignement will be a good idea at wich point the shop will tell you you need camber kits to get your alignment perfect and then charge you an arm and a let for them but you really dont need them....However i'm not sure how LCA's are going to fix your rubbing issues. What size wheel are you runnning and how low is your drop?

You dont need them but, if your slammed its a very worth-while investment and you might as well take care of it while your under there.

Even still if your expecting to rid your rubbing problem LCA's are not going to do it.

the only rubbing issues the LCA's will fix is if your stock lca is rubbing against the inside of your wheel.

LCA's dont change suspension geometry, they are just a direct replacement part

Except SPC's... they are shorter than stock, correcting the camber at the bottom.
