Default dropped 1.5, need some advice...

basically one of the members here told me 1.5 inch drop in the front, 1.3 drop in the rear from a stock height does NOT require a camber kit.

i know there will be some negative camber....but do you agree with him?

I will pay the extra 250 or so for the entire 4 corners if i need to...

what are your suggestions?!

this is on a stock integra type R

It depends on what type of camber you want to run and what you are using the car for.

Up to -2degrees is fine in front.
In the rear I reccomend 0 to -.5 degrees.

Camber is not the real issue with lowering. In addition to picking up negative camber when lowering you also end up with a lot more toe-in. The added toe-in is what cause tires to wear quickly.

I use 1/32 to 1/16 toe-out in the front and 0 in the rear. This is my autocross/street alignment.
