Let me be the first to say 2 things.... 1) Welcome to the site. 2) Use the search function. Just about any question you probably have has already been discussed numerous times on this site. If for some reason after you have exhausted all search resources, then you should ask questions. I am not being a jerk or anything, but I am just telling you for future reference.... some members are jerks about it.

As for your question... any time you lower your car it is strongly suggested that you get a camber kit and an alignment to correct the camber.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice... the alignment is being done on saturday.

Well I haven't seen your car, but with a 1.75" drop most likely you'll need camber kits for the rear. Take a look at the rear wheel... Is it butterflying? 9 out of 10 cases you'll be nodding your head, haha... So yeah you're gonna want to get your cambers put on while you get your alignment or else that may be 2 aligning trips. $150 Ingalls from lightningmotorsports.com is where I got mine. I haven't been to the site lately so I don't know if they still have it... The front should be fine. My camber wasn't even off in the front, but it had to be aligned. Good luck bro...

its recomended, but not necessary. If you want your tires to last you should.

I suggest you get the front and rear camber kits. I recently lowered my car with Neuspeed Sports and I only got the rear camber kit (SPC). My front camber is off.... slightly. Not enough to matter, but it is now positive.... like +.1 So it doesn't matter much, but with my 215/45/17 tires they rub the fender on turns... Just a little more advice... with a front camber kit, you can have *perfect* camber (haha) or at least factory spec.

If you need to purchase a camber kit, i personally recommend getting them from importhorizon.com since they sell the rear for $117 and front for $20 with free shipping. They send them out quick too, my order just came in 2 days after i ordered on UPS Ground
