it depends on your size rims and tires..but id get it just to be safe..better pay 20 bucks now than to pay 100 on tires....i have the spc front and rear...you should get that too..ingalls sucks!

I have a 2 inch drop and needed rear ONLY i got SPCs from Tornactive. Installed them my self in like 2 hours or less and alligned them with a level temporarily
I went from replacing my tires every six months to. haven't had the new tires that long to tell yet but they are wearing perfect so far.

SO in summurization- NO FRONT Yes Rear if lower than 1.5 inches. SPC is better!!!!!

usually u will have negative camber in the front but not as bad that you will ware out your tires, mostly like 1 degree

"depends on your size rims and tires"
who told you that? rim/tire size has nothing to do with wheter you need a camber kit or not.. you can have 1" diameter tires and throw on 20" diameter tires and your camber will be the same.

"if i get Tein Coilover, so do I need camber kit?"
it doesnt matter whether your using springs, sleeved coilovers or true coilovers, the camber depends on the amount of drop not on method of drop. so if you only lower the car 1" with teins no you will not need them. but if you lower it 3" yes you will need them.

but ya camber depends on the amount of drop. if your only dropping 1.3" you dont really need any. if your dropping more then 2" i would recommend the rear.. 1.75" is kinda debateable, i myself dont have one. you really dont need the front but ya its just the rear where you might..
i would say a reasonable price for rear kit is $125 shipped. front is about $20.
