Default Camber Kit?

SO i am about to put new tires and wheels on my C5 corvette, and also drop the car about an inch or so..I am just wondering if I will have to purchase a camber kit? Some people that I have talked with say as long as i dont drop it to much camber is not needed, but only a relalignment, and at worst springs... I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on this,or has actually done just that to their car

I dont plan on getting bigger sized tires or anything like that just CCW rims and a new set of tires to match! any help would be greatly appreciated

If you keep it to an inch or less you will only need a good four wheel alignment.

Chamber kits are more for keeping the chamber locked into position and to allow huge neg chamber. The stock concentrics can slip or loosen, but if you maintain your car well it should not be an issue.

Awesome I really didnt feel like spending the money on something that wasnt needed! and when you say maintain it well, what exactly do you mean by that? I am assuming just not driving crazy or doing donuts in the parking lot!!!

Checking them every now and then to make sure they are not loosening. Not often, but could save you the cost of an alignment.
