Default Is a camber kit really necessary with a 2-2 1/2 in drop?

Specs: KYB shocks, RSR race springs. Drop estimated to be around 2-3 inches. In my eyes negative camber can get a good thing for the track(road). But should I be using a camber kit?

notice the wear on your tires and if its very apparent then i would suggest a camber kit esp if one side wears faster than the other, that way you can just adjust it to even things out.

The toe angle is what wears tires rapidly, that can be aligned w/o any new parts. Camber improves traction and cornering, eventually it will wear, but nothing to quick.

I really didnt think that it would be affected that much considering the car isnt slammed and the weight bearing on the suspension is minimal also. Fully stripped interior, single race seat, etc. Along with my 155 lbs frame, I cant see it being too detrimental, then again better being safe than sorry on Toyo Proxes T1s's $500 tires.
