if you check the stickies you don't really need a camber kit.. if they tell you they can't align a car without them they suck.. you don't use camber kits when aligning the toe...

Also how low are you going? I'm ****ing dumped and I have only hit my shock towers once with s2's however I think that's going to chance today since i went lower but whatever lol. If you aren't going super slammed you won't have to worry about it smacking the strut tower. It's also going to depend on your spring rates if you hit them or not.. s2's get my vote.

Correct.

With the car that low, you really don't want to kill what little front suspension travel you have left with a camber kit.

The car came stock with the ability to adjust the toe, which is all that is needed to align the car.
