Guys, can anyone else chime in on this? Do we need to adjust the camber with sport suspension, or is it only necessary if you lower the car? What if you do not lower?
thanks!

No with just wheels you do not need a camber kit, however, if you plan to lower your car it will become necessary because of the change in suspension geometry. Otherwise you'll really wear the inside edge of the tires quickly, but with a stock suspension you'll be fine.
