A camber kit is never needed but a good idea to get your camber back into (or close to) OEM specs. If not, you will have more tire wear on the inside and require rotation more often.

I usually see people only getting the rear camber kit, i know that the fronts are much more expensive, but are the frontscloser to oem specs than the rears?

At that drop, no. It's more because the rear kits are less than half the price of the front.

Fronts arent needed as badly as the rears are, but they are always good to have. I am running no front camber kit and my front tires had camber wear on them. However, your front tires wont wear out that much faster without one.

without camber kit ur front camber is most likely going to be a -2.0 and the rear close to -3. Your toe will most likely be within specs. For me personally i rather switch the tires from side to side every six months and have exceptional grip then go in to -0.8 camber and lose all that grip with a camber kit eventhough -3 camber is close to an overkill for a street car.

there is a commerical shop near my home that offers free lifetime rotation and mounting/dismounting after you pay $35 dollars to have each tire mounted. well worth it i think. i was gonna do that to my car since my front was out of spec, but i just didnt want to keep checking and worry about my tires so i purchased ichibia front camber for 285 shipped and 40 for install.
