I just installed H&R Sport springs (1.3-1.5" drop) a couple weeks ago.. My front has no camber and my rears have a slightly noticible amount. Let me know if this has been mentioned before, but I did a brief search based on "titles" and didn't find much.. I was looking in here and it mentions that an alignment could possible correct the small amount of camber I have. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Well anytime you install lowering springs or mess with your suspension, you need to get an alignment. Thats why you are noticing the some negative camber in the rear. Now the shop might be able to get your alignment back within specs with out a camber kit, but you wont know untill you get it. I recommend you get one though so you wont wear your tires faster.

Oh, I was under the impression with such a subtle drop that you don't really need a camber kit but I'll get an alignment and see I guess.

Did you read the FAQ? It suggests a camber kit whenever you lower. Now you can try to get it to spec with the oem one, but an aftermarket one will give you more adjustability.
