Will I need a camber kit?

Sup guys, I'll be buying some suspension stuff for my car (2002 LX Coupe). I'm gettin some 18's next week and need some advice on lowering kits and camber kits. I'd like to go the most I can with 18 x 7.5 rims without dealing with the rubbing what size tires do you suggest as far as protection to the rims goes? also if i put lowering springs do I need to adjust the camber? I've heard that Tein is a good brand any suggestions on that also would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

-Matt

that's a good idea. tires are expensive, especially 18's!! no kit means wore-out tires quick!!
they will wear on the inside quick! the outside will look bran-new, inside, bald as your dad!

Is it true that we only need a rear camber kit for our vics? Or is it better to have both front and rear cambers? Also, I was thinking about get the eibach prokit that drops the car 1". Will it get lower than that when it "settles in"? I dont wanna lower my car too much, since at times I do have my car packed with 4 other people, plus my sub/box and 2 amps in the back. I also have 215/45/17, so im affraid I might rubb. Any suggestions?

Usually the rear more than the front. . . but the front camber bolts are so cheap (comparatively) that one should just get the whole shebang.
