new springs...

If I get new springs, which are about 1 to 2 inches lower, will I need a camber kit or something? Or will the camber align itself once the springs settle?

Camaros come stock with camber/caster adjustment plates. Although you cant adjust them a whole lot. They'll be enough to correct the camber/caster to a more streetable level. Me on the otehr hand use it for STUPID CAMBER as I call it haha. Your gonna need alignment after the springs. The shop will also correct your caster/camber at the same time as the alightment. I suggest though if you race and what not (turns that is not straight light) make your camber allitle more negative then the stock setting. I think like -.5-.75 is a good setting.

yeah i dont think they self adjust, you will need to get an alignment most likely, they will manual adjust the front angles...
