Do I need a Camber kit for this setup?
I want to know if anyone could help me make a decision. I have read the thread on camber kits but I was wondering if someone had a similar setup to me and could offer some feedback or advice. I have an 06 TL and I am about to install H&R sport springs. The springs claim to lower the car 1.4" in the front and 1.3" in the rear. I know this is a moderate drop so I am unsure if I need to install a camber kit or not. I have read about uneven tire wear and things like that but would a drop like this really affect it that much?

no you do not need a camber kit dont waste your money
get an alignment as soon as the springs settle in and make sure the TOE is set to zero. Natural camber is not bad at all.
I have a camber kit but thats because I NEED it to fit more aggressive offset rims. I do no use my camber kit to actually correct my camber but i use it to WORSEN my camber so that I can fit my rims

Jcor, hopefully you won't need a camber kit. I put H&R Sports Springs on my Type S and the right rear camber was out. It probably would have been OK, but I didn't want to take a chance.
mrlal is probably right-just get it aligned and hopefully that will do the trick!

You don't notice any difference/problems at high speeds with a negative camber? Does your car drive/handle the same as it always did? I don't want to compromise the handling or mess anything up.

^ you will get some camber wear but just get an alignment like mrlal8 said and just rotate tires every 5-6K miles and it wont be too bad... toe really kills tires camber does wear but if you rotate then it evens it out
