WTF. If you have a camber problem and your tires are going bald on the inside, get a camber kit. If your camber is straight up and down and even tread across the tire, do not worry about. When you lower the vehicle, your camber usually goes negative and causes uneven tread on the tires. Every time you lower or raise the vehicle, you have to get an alignment done.

well drop it and see if it effects your tires. if not. why waste the time and money. some may change the cambers from a 1" drop, some may be sitting just fine from a 2" drop. i never had to; i drop by close to 2"

it just depends bud. sum cars are different. i dropped my hatch maybe like 3 inches and i have sum camber on the front but not in the back. but my friend's integra has a grip of camber in the front and back. i bought sum falken ziex 512's and they lasted like 10,000 HARD-DRIVEN miles. not too bad i guess but i would rather have a camber kit in the front if i could, and i will get one eventually.
