I dont know...but im rockin neuspeed race on stock shocks for about 9 months, its about 2.25 drop with no camber kit. Tires just wear out quicker. I do plan on getting some KYBs...
Now, thats a CRUCK. Half car, half truck. Is that a fabtech lift? Rancho shocks? Just kiddin. My car is lowered 2 1/4", 2 1/2". Seems like my front tires only really wear badly with my 17s who knows. With my stockies, my tires last forever with no camber kit.

Roger that. Camber doesn't destryo tires, to a certain degree. Tow will eat tires quicker than anything.
And it's not the amount of inches (or millimeters) that you lower a car that "requires" use of a camber kit. If you lower your car 3 inches, and throw the camber off only 1.75 degrees, that's great. But some people only lower 2 inches, and throw camber off 3 degrees or more.
So, when you lower the car, go get and alignment. They should be able to tell you what your camber, caster, tow and all that jazz is. I would personally suggest that if your camber is greater than -3.50 degrees...I would consider doing something to correct it a little. But, if the tow is in a safe range, then it won't be as bad.
Did any of that make sense? BTW tow is / \ that would be if you were looking down on your car, the tires would appear to be facing inward, or outward.
