camber question

Do you guys think I'll be needing a camber kit with a tein h tech drop? It drops 1.5 in the front and 1.1 in the back, so its a lil lower than eibach, thanks a lot!

If you want to get back into factory specs, yes.

if you dont want to flip tires or go through tires pretty fast then yes it is a good idea. Some people like the stance with neg camber so they keep it. I had H&R springs with no camber kits it was fine for a couple of months. So not mandatory but recomended. The rear kits are cheap, front is a little more expensive.
