Default Camber kit

i'm going to get some lowering springs on the car to give it a slight lowered look and better handling. would i need a camber correction kit to correct any negative camber after the installation of the springs?

btw, which springs should i go with?

i have buddyclub coils. and the rear have -2 camber. is a camber kit required for that degree of negative camber? will it significantly wear out your tires due to camber?

No camber kit is necessary to get -2 degrees front or rear. The car is set up for adjustable camber from the factory.

Thats the degree of camber you want. Yes it will wear faster unless you can do large figure eights everytime you drive.

Anymore camber, your car will not handle as well.

No, you do not need camber kits for that kind of camber.
Remember, it's not the camber the ruins the tires, it more
the toe that affects tire wear. How do you like your buddy clubs?
At the softest setting, is it like stock or stiffer than stock?
How stiff can it go? Rock hard stiff?
