According to Tein, the lowest you can go is -2.3 for the front and -1.1 for the rear. You will not need camber kit if you lower less then 1 inch, but if you go lower then that, you will probably need camber kit. I had basic on my car for 2 months now, the ride is much comfortable compare to stock, more stiff, no more bounce. I enjoy alot, this is a great kit to spend on. Definitely worth it.

I am not an expert, but I think alot people are running with out camber kit, so you should be fine. You camber on you alignment might be slightly off, longest you check your tires wear and alignment often you should be okay. You might do some more research on your own to find out, b/c I only lowered my car 0.7 inch all around.

Does that mean that your camber would still be within the limits with a .7" drop, or can you only adjust your camber enough to accomidate a .7" drop without getting a camber kit? I hope that was clear. I am also thinking of getting the tein basics.

My cambers are within the limits with 0.7 drop. The current update alignment for the front are range from 0.2 degree to -1.3 degree and my sits at -0.9 degree and the rear are range from -1.1 degree to -2.1 degree and my sits at -1.9 degree. I have gone lower before, it was 1 inch until I put my new LE37T on with 9.5 +12 offset in the rear, I have to raised my car back up to 0.7 inch to prevent rubbing. I dont remember the # on the front, but I do remember my rear camber was at max -2.1 degree.
