Lowering Car: Do i need to buy a camber kit?
#3
what you NEED to do is get an alignment. depending on how low you are, you may be able to continue with the negative camber. if you want camber close to 0, then yes, most likely you will need a camber kit.

Depends if you mind rotating your tires or not, how much camber you have, and if you get your toe set when you get your alignment.
Install suspension, let settle.
Get an alignment. Set to close to 0 as possible and have them printout your camber specs. 0 to -1 youre probably ok with rotating infrequently, -2+ and youre going to have to rotate pretty frequently.
Monitor wear. If you see uneven wear beginning in the next few hundred/thousand miles, rotate the tires and continue to monitor.
I got away with 33k on my 712s rotating them every 5k or so with ~-2.5 deg camber and 0 toe.

I don't really like any kit which uses brackets to move the control arm closer or farther from the body, like the Ingalls does. They tend to squeak and sometimes bang up the inner fender.
Preferably you want a kit that consists of replacement upper control arms that have a moveable mount for the ball joint. Another satisfactory option is a set of ball joints that have an adjustment built into them.
King Motorsports and skunk2 make replacement control arm style kits, and SPC makes adjustable ball joint style kits.
