Most likely, you'll do. But the best way to find out is to check the camber results when you have the car aligned. Do the alignment after the springs have settled.

I hope this helps.

Clow,
I think you will need a camber kit. I have the eibach pro kit and my camber is at -1.4 degrees last time i checked. It doesnt seem like much but it will kill ur tires. I have to change mine in like every 5 months or like around 10- 12 thousand miles. ( i drive a lot since Houston is a big city). But that not that bad changing them after all those miles. I actually think its pretty OK.
Does anybody here have a pro kit also??? How often do your tires wear out?? I was thinking of a camber kit myself.

if its lower than 1.5 inches like more than the prokit drop u will most likely need one...u dont have to have one...but it will help in extending the life in ur tires. it also depends on how bad your camber is as well...with my prokit with alignment it was easily restored to stock settings, my camber actually wasnt off at all, just the toe was way off...but everything is back to stock as far as alignment....

I got a 98 3.0 dropped 1.75" with Nuespeed springs. I have 17" tires, but the overall diameter is the same as stock, and I do not need a camber kit.

My car didnt need an alignment either. You can adjust toe, heel, or camber. Toe and heel affect the way the car veers and since it drove straight and had a minimal amount of negative camber, it didnt need an alignement.
