Default Alignment or Camber Kit

Hey I was wondering if any of you guess could answer my question for me........

I'm lowering my 94' Accord (!Two Inches!) I'm pretty sure that my camber is going to be off in the rear.

1)But does that mean I need a Camber Kit to correct the problem. or
2)Could a shop where they do alignments and have shims be able to fix the problem. Alot cheaper then buying a camber kit and getting an alignment.

Cause I don't need to customize my Camber I just want to Fix it to Factory!!

you cannot fit the camber to zero without a camberkit.
but anything 2 or lower, negative camber shouldnt be big problem(but different from car to car)
you need an alignment done with or without a camber kit,
it also correct the toes and other rubber eating factor by lowering a car.
what kinda spring you getting?
shock?
btw you know you can pull a washer trick to fix the negative camber on the rear wheel right?

alot of ppl have camber kit end up selling it due to number of factors that more cost more hassle than without it...

rotation from time to time and check for wear spot is the way to go..

I am lowered 2" and have Progress' camber kit (F&R) and have been installed for over 2 yrs. No problems whatsoever. It all depends on the shop you go to. I did have to cut just a tiny bit of the inner fender well on the front due to the upper a-arm hitting but that's it! Very satisifed!

toe will eat up tires faster than camber will

make sure your toe is to spec or as close as possible, dont worry about a camber kit, one of the benefits to lowering a car is some negative camber, rotate your tires and you will be fine
