If I were to order some Intrax lowering springs would I need a camber adjustment to prevent uneven tire wear? or do i even have to worry about that? thanks for your help.

yes you will need the ingalls camber bolts anytime you drop the car below a inch it leaves the camber out of spec.The bolts allow up to 3 degrees of camber good luck.

Those bolts only allow +- 1 degree of adjustment. there are other aftermarket camber kits out there that can offer up to +-3 degrees of adjustment, but they're about $300/set. the Ingalls bolts are about $30/set.

if I get an alignment at a tire place, will that be enough to put the car back into spec? or will I need to purchase the bolts?

Jon, no... the only thing an alignment shop can do is adjust toe-in/out without camber bolts or plates. stock suspension does not allow any adjustment on camber.

Thanks Matt. Where do these camber bolts attach at? Is it something I could stick on myself, and take to the shop to have adjusted?

also, when I was chceking out the link above, I noticed two sets of camber bolts, one for the front, one for the rear. Are both needed? and are the setes priced as front/rear together or as front and rear seperate?

Will any of these kits be able to correct the camber, or will they still be a little of.
