Default Front Camber Kit Needed?

Planning on lowering by around 2" with coilovers for front and the back and was wondering if I'll need a front camber kit also along with the rear camber kit.

I don't take the car to the track or anything so I'm guessing any brand is fine right? I'm planning on getting the Eibach ones.

Thanks!

you will need the rear kit--camber and toe.

you do not need a front kit unless you want to return your alinment to shitty stock specs. you should have around -2 camber in the front with that drop(slightly more negative). if you use right at zero toe you should not have irregular tire wear--at least in my experiences. camber doesn't usually become a real wear factor until you get past -2.5 degrees--generally speaking.

match the rear camber to the front, rear toe to suit and have fun.

you will need a front kit however if you are off from side to side by a good amount.

The front will most likely need some adjustment with that much drop. If you do get a front kit be aware that upper arms are not all alike. Read the specs on the kit you are looking at because most will only add neg camber and very little if any pos to correct for lowering. Also if you get rear camber arms also add the adjustable toe arms and replace the stock toe bolt with the SPC bolt to give you greater correction of the rear toe. When you correct the rear camber it pushes the toe out. Because of the geometry of the rear radius arm mounting location, it doesn't adjust the toe very well.
