if you're not planning to use a camber kit, remember to flip your tires otherwise you might end up with this:

I think it has been stated that just about any drop at all requires a camber kit to get back in spec.

You don't need to but it is suggested especially if you drop it more than an inch.
Some people can actually get back into spec with just an alignment others need to get camber kits.
It's weird how that works sometimes.

That's gross negligence, ie someone who either a) shouldn't have a lowered car and/or b) never checks their car and therefore shouldn't drop. Basic inspection fail.

Even though alignment kits would have evened out the wear, he probably would have wound up in the same place eventually. How can you not notice all that exposed casing?

I thought toe kit was pretty much req'd for the rear with any drop? I think camber is recommended? Either way, if I were to drop it would be camber/toe kit rear and camber front.

Camber yes, at least rear.
A fender roll? Not with stock 19's (with stockish tire widths).

Sadly Jason as you can tell from the pic of that wasted tire not everyone believes they're needed.

Maybe we should ask Charles why according to his mod list he has the complete kit? If you want your tires to last and you lower your G the camber/toe kit is needed front and back. Consider the cost of the kit then compare it to a set of quality tires.... camber kit wins!
