Default Re:less than an inch drop. do i need a camber correction ?

Hi Guys,
I'm new here and i just joined and i dont know if i am on the right spot.anyway, i have a question. I am getting an H&R OE sport spring and i really wanted to lower my car at least less than an inch drop and H&R OE is the only spring that has at least .75 drop. i dont want to lower my car more than an inch. my question is,do i need a camber correction kit for this low? i know i still need to allign my car but do i really need the camber kit? i've read a lot some people say i dont need it if it's lower than an inch,some people say i have to. can you guys clear my mind on this one. Thanks a lot and i will really appreciate any help.
BTW, I have 08' Civic Coupe.

Not to sound rude but why spend the money to drop the car at all? If you don't want it dropped that much than just don't do it. Just a waste of money in my eyes...

To answer your question, If you rotate you wheels alot the small drop should not make much difference. If anything it will give you a little more grip in the twistys.

No, you will not need a camber kit unless your running into the 1.5"+ range...

PS- Good spring choice, don't listen to Darken0420. To each their own right? The H&R OE sports are better then your OEM springs, my friend has them on his SI and they're tastefully perfect.
