It would help to know what car you drive, but as a general rule of thumb, yes, you will need a camber kit when lowering your car that much.

You could probably get away with just shimming it to the correct alignment settings, but if you want to be sure I would grab a kit. Don't forget though, you will need a front camber kit and a rear upper cross bar. Check out http://www.spcperformance.com/....html

Rule of thumb: usually anything over 1.5" will require a camber kit. Obviously the more you go, the more camber you get. Take the car to get aligned after you do the install. If it's off, they will tell you. Make sure to get a print out of how much camber the front and rear have. Then buy camber kits according to what you need. Some alignments shops will even install camber kits for you, just check with them.
