no more than 2 inch drop, even then you might have some camber wear

1.75 is the lowest you can go without a camber kit, but I dunno about 19's tho. With 18's, you have enough clearance with that drop and a kit.

1.75 you'll need camber. I dropped w/ the 1.75 kit from H&R and I needed a camber on the rear.

Some people say yes.. other people says no..
Depends up on how bad is your camber after lowering
the car..

I would say.. for safe side.. get a camber kit. or
go with H&R OE spring...

Approx..
Front: 0.75
Rear: 0.75

Yep, with 1.75 you just have to decide if it's worth it. It's worth it to some, it's not worth it to others.

More than 2", it'll be smart to get one.

my back dropped 2" on a 6th gen and i can see the camber is not looking healthy. I do get the drift car look though =) If u don't want a camber kit a non-directional tire would be a good choice. I wish i would have bought yokohama paradas instead of the avs since the avs needs to be taken off f the rim to rotate to other side. I think frequent rotations would save ur tires with out a camber kit.
