if you lower it ...point blank your gonna have negative camber..period! there is no "how low could i go without one." Eventually you'll tart noticing wear.... The ones that i noticed that you can probably get by with without a camber kit is Eibach Prokit (i had them a long time ago)...anything else your gonna need one PERIOD. I have Ground Control Coilvers with an SPC Camber Kit. Another thing you could do is get a Full Coilver Suspension Kit to.

I'm on Eibach Sportlines which drop about 1.5" and the rear camber was very noticible. The front was okay but the rear needed camber kit to save my tires.
