Default Do kg/mm's need a camber kit??

Here is the situation...
I just got a set of HRE's. And I have the Kg/mm dr21 race springs on order. My friend told me that if I dont get a camber kit that my tires will get killed in a few hundred miles . And 285/30s are some expensive tires. I checked some posts and it looks like they dont make a camber kit for our cars. Will it be fine with just getting the weels aligned by a shop and have them make sure everything is good. Or do i need something else that I dont know about. I have not heard about the kg/mm's needing a camber kit before, but I just want to make 100% sure.
Thanks guys,
Kyle

The S2000 doesn't need a kit, the camber is adjustable from the factory. You will, however, need to get an alignment in order to take out the excess negative camber introduced by the springs.

i got the springs, had just bought knew rears, my front were decent. ate my fronts threads started to come through. my rears got worn but are still usable. then put on my rims and got an align and so far everything seems ok. get an align and you should be ok. but you will still wear them more then stock. nothing you can do about that. i am selling my springs and getting coilovers just so i can adjust more.

You should be able to go to stock spec camber in front and around -2.0 to -2.5 in the rear which is good for a street driven lowered car.
