yes you'll need a camber kit. i heard camber kits are good and bad. it depends if your lude is a daily driver. 1.5inches aint that bad, i would just get an alignment and check your inner tires every now and then. but if you want to be completely safe just get one. mines ain't a daily driver so i didn't get one. i'm lowered about 2inches all around.

Allow me to point you to the Ingalls (www.ingallseng.com) and Specialty Products (www.specprod.com) websites. They both offer ther EXPERT advice on when and why you need kits for your car. With that said the general rule is that for EACH 1" of drop the Camber will go negative by ~0.75 degrees from where you start. Since Honda says the 5th gen front needs to be at ~0.0 +/- 1 degree, you will be close to the outer limit. The rear of ALL 5th gens have a range of +0.3 to -1.8 degrees and should be closer to -0.5.

Let me warn you that kits for the SH are not as easy to find as the Base-just call the manufacturers including (www.northstarmfg.com and you will find kits for thefront. The rear uses either Ingalls or Specialty adjustable anchor bolts.
