front camber kit
Even with a Eibach pro-kit drop, you sometimes will be out of spec for front camber. Even if you are lucky, you will be on the upper edge of the front camber range. If you are like me and it settles to about 26 3/4" fender height, you are going to be out of spec. Fix your toe and may not wear out your tires even without a front camber kit.
However, if you want to adjust your front camber more toward the middle of the camber range (nominal) or if you want to adjust your caster for handling, you need the front camber kit.
Most recommend: (1) get your drop, (2) week or two to settle, (3) get your alignment (4) make an informed, fact-based decision on the front and rear camber kits based on your car, your suspension, your desires.....or just buy it all and be done with it. This topic is a lot like the break-it-in per factory suggestions vs. drive-it-like-u-stole-it topic.

I have the X coupe and my Eibach pro kit(1.9"f 1.4"r) have settled to 26 1/4" in the front and 27" in the rear. I have a very reliable shop with an excellent rep. They do porsches, lambos, ferrari's and they can't get my fronts in spec. Im more than -2. I need camber arms. The rear is ok but only about half my tires is actually touching ground. At highway speed the car is all over the road. I gotta work to keep it straight.
OP doesn't have an AWD so we can't apply your situation to him.
