Default camber kits?

i dropped my r/t 2inches sometime ago, i waited a lil while before getting it realigned you knowletting the new height sit in. now when i ordered my springs and struts from MP, i asked if i needed the camber kits. from his opinion he didnt think i would need them however that wasnt a affirmative answer. has anyone needed the camber kit for their drop?

My local shop didnt have any issues getting the proper alignment on my R/T and I dont have the camber correction kit, and I dont have any premature or uneven wear on any of my tires...any drop above that though and you'll definitely need them.

on mine, 2 inch drop, i got the ingalls camber bolts for all four wheels. i set the bolts for maximum camber adjustment and they came out pretty much perfect. so i think you definately need them.

thanks for the positive answers. when i searched the topic it was alot of yes and no. i need an alignment because at high speeds my car tends to veer off a lil as well as vibration etc.... im still rather confuse though, even though 3 ppl said i do need it. appearantly 03neonRT is like the neon guru around here thats a toughy? so who's word is bond?

anything above a 1.5 inch drop it would be wise. I have a 1.5 average drop and the camber was off slightly but not bad enough to need a camber kit
