Default camber kit- do i need it?

So I am about to buy some Megan EZ streets b/c I currently have S-techs and the uneven drop is annoying.

I do not plan to slam the car, but I would like to lower the front so it has no gap...just as the rear is today.

With that type of drop, will the camber really be a big issue? Right now I don't notice much wear difference but I can't say I've put enough miles on my current tires to be able to tell that.

Nobody makes a full (front and back) camber kit for the 2IS.

But at the drops you're talking about just get a good alignment with the TOE corrected and you'll be fine.

^^ I'm getting mine installed tomorrow at FXAuto... seemed top be a good price installed. I can do it myself, but with my current garage set up (1 car garage) it's just a major PITA so I'm paying them to do it.

your alignment guy should be able to tell you if you need further camber adjustments.
sometimes the stock adjuster is not enough.

There is no stock camber adjustment on RWD models.

Megan makes a rear camber kit and a toe link kit.

Figs also makes a toe link kit and he's a vendor on CL and owns a IS F. These are better quality IMO
