Yes you definitely need an alignment, you always need one after major suspension work like that. As far as a camber kit goes, you 'll know if you need one after you get the camber specs after your alignment. Ask for a printout of your final specs. You probably wont need a kit, but get the results and post em up.

No offense, but that guy is a moron. trust me you always need an alignment after getting a drop. Toe in can be out which is going to kill your tires 100x faster than the CAmber would and the toe in is almost always out of spec after dropping your car. Any shop that does alignments shoud lbe able to give you your final specs after doing the alignment, just make sure to ask them for it.

Should be fine. Some people like to wait for their springs to settle before doing an alignment. Most dont. 1 week will be fine as long as you dont drive 5000+ miles in that 1 week

Mr. Hyde is always right...

ALWAYS...ALWAYS...ALWAYS align ANY VEHICLE after it is lowered.

Hey city001: How come your signature says H&R Sport Springs?

Cool

Any time you change the geometry of the suspension the car needs to be aligned. Doubtful you will need any kit, just an alignment.
