Default do I need upper control arms

This should be an interesting discussion. I'm buying some Tanabe GF210's tomorrow and will be getting a rear camber kit. My question is: do I need a front camber kit as well? The drop in the front is only 1" compared to 1.25" in the back plus I'm doing the rear spring mount mod. I'm running a square setup 265/35/18 on xxr 527 18x9.75. Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay thanks. This shop I called said it would be 77 for an alignment and 220 to install and adjust camber so 300 total. Is that a lot for a job like this? Can't I just install them myself when I do the springs and rear spring mount mod and just tell them to rotate the camber arm to adjust camber when they do the alignment? It doesn't sound too difficult.

The rear camber arm install is simple, the rear camber bolt is semi easy. Look for the DIY on it , most shops screw up tow bolts anyhow.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably just install the camber kit when I install the springs and just take it to the shop for them to do the alignment for 77 + tax. Thanks again.
