Question Will I need a camber kit?

Experienced Z slammers, I need some advice.

I am going to put CUSCO Zero-1 Coilovers and Front/Rear sway bars on my car soon. I plan to lower the car only 1" front and rear. With this level of lowering, will I have significant camber problems in the front and rear? Will I need a full camber kit like what Kinetix Racing is offering? Please let me know.

Oh, my wheel/tire choice is as follows if this provides additional info:

19X9.5 F - 245/35ZR19s (Volk SF Challenge - Bridgestone S-03s)
19X10.5 R - 275/30ZR19s (Volk SF Challenge - Bridgestone S-03s)

Also, anyone with CUSCO coilovers want to comment on the ride/ handling.

Have the alignment checked after a couple of hundred miles and see what happens. I believe the max drop is no more then 3/4" before you can't align without add-ons. Most likely you will need to get the camber kits unless you like negative camber for racing.

Thanks for the quick reply zwindsor! By the way...nice avatar! She's hot!

Well, I do like better handling and with the combination of lower ride height, sway bars, and wide rubber...I think that my ride will far exceed my ability to push it to the limit even on a race track. My main concern is tire wear. I want to get the car back to stock alignment specs. I know the tires will wear quick even at spec due to the "feathering" problem everyone is reporting but any delay in this to replace hyper expensive 19s is greatly appreciated if you follow my drift!

Thanks Road Warrior! I did do a search before I asked and came up with nothing that was concrete in its answer. That is why I asked. Just to make sure.
