For prices check out this site, I really dont think you need one, but if you want to be 100% safe, then go for it. It doesnt really change the handling or anything.

damn i have to buy a front and a rear camber kit...
wow thats a lot of money...

So is the only negative without a camber kit worn out tires? Any long term ill affects towards my car? Maybe I will get the springs installed and then pray nothing will happen and if it does then I'll install the camber kit later??

camber = the verticaldirection the wheels "lean". When the bottom of the wheel is further from the center of the car than the top of the wheel, the camber is considered to be negative. When the top of the wheel is further from the center of the car, the camber is positive. For the most part, a little camber of the negative variety is actually beneficial, since it provides more contact area of the tires around turns. (Zero camber is best for drag racing applications, since the wheels will sit completely level on the ground, allowing for more traction in a straight line) While camber will indeed eventually wear yourtires unevenly, it won't destroythem as some would have you believe.

Honestly, with a 1" drop, I doubt the camber will change much at all. (obviously, you'll have a little negative camber, but it won't be much)

when i got my alignment last month it says my current measurements at factory stock suspension camber included
left front, -0.3 right frontt, -0.6
left rear - 0.5 right rear -1.3

do these seem right and if so with a 1 inch drop what should i expect the numbers to be so that my tires won't be rubbing too much.

but like you guys said 1 inch loweration does not warrant a camber kit So I'll take your words on it- but based on camber measurement reading I can tell if I DO need a camber kit?

okay so i ordered it today for 260 bucks including installation - seems a bit high in price but i trust the mechanic shop enough.. i hope...
but anyways they told me that once its installed, their mechanics will alignment and then they'll be able to tell me if i need a camber kit or not... probably not
thanks again for your help

Wow H tech sucks. The Gap is still huge - don't waste your money with them. I ordered S techs, thats money down the drain but I've learned my lesson...
