Default camber kits?

i got eibach sportlines springs, its a 1.8"f and 1.7"r drop, it will probably settle a little closer to 2". so i was wondering if i need to get a camber kit or should i just get a GOOD ALIGNMENT. i've been told that anything more than a 2" you will need a camber kit and it will be close to 2", so what do you guys think?

i did the search and didn't find anything that really answer my questions, so if you guys could help that would be kool.

you dont need one imo
but is more of a personal thing..
some ppl slammed their ride and have nothing work on suspension.
when some rich **** put a camber correction kit on a sissy 1.0inch drop.
imo anything under 2 are okay..
i wont do it in any of eibach's spring..

rotate tires every 4-5k, check for sight or abnormal wears, alignment is a must, but allow 2 week for spring to settle.
all four wheels alignment is req. let them know you had your car lowered,
request a spec sheet, request to correct camber and toe as close as zero as possilble.
toe eat up tires ten time faster...well maybe 9.98 times.

you might as well do the rear camber, only cost about $.50 to do. just a bunch of washers you get from the hardware stores, may be cheesy, but works! if i could only get a scanner to scan the progress instruction sheet.
