Rear camber kit needed?
Putting on tein street advance and planning on dropping it 1.5-2" to get the tires to fender. Can anybody confirm if I need rear camber kit t get the alignment in spec?
SPC has a three arm kit which is about $400 for the pair and ingalls has ball join and arm kit for $300 for the pair.
Just trying to figure out if I should get these or not.

Yes with a 1.5-2" drop you will want a rear camber kit. The SPC 3 arm kit can adjust + or - 3 degrees of camber and is available for $211.98 per side, so you'll want to order a quantity of 2.

Not hitting the fenders right now, but got the fenders rolled last night so that when i correct the camber, it won't hit.

I'd written two articles on the matter... see here:
For camber rear kits, avoid parts with aftermarket ball-joints.

you shouldnt. but since camber is not adjustable and if its out of spec, the only way to get it into spec is getting a camber kit.
remember, every one's set up WILL BE DIFFERENT, so there is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL advice.
it also depends on how you want the alignment set up....
if you want it in spec from the factory, or if you would like to ADD camber.
so, there are tons of different variables that affect your question....
the best advice is to;
- lower the vehicle
- get an alignment
- asses situation.
- if needs camber, add camber kit

My advice, get an alignment first and if you're within spec then don't get it. For our cars, anything under -1.8 degrees is acceptable. You can go back and get another alignment free of charge after the camber kit is installed.

Firestone in my area (Wichita ks) wanted $180 for an alignment. They said I couldn't get their lifetime alignment either since I'm dropped on coilovers. So I think it varies region to region.
