Camber ???

My car can't align properly and the right side of the car always feels like it's riding lower than the left. The tech at the shop I go to said because of the drop I need a camber kit to feel the problem, is this true?

A camber kit would just adjust the wear on the outer or inner edge of your tires.

There are adjustments like caster and toe, but for the most part this is what everyday drivers can see as being 'wrong'.

I've always been told that if you lower your Max by more than 2/2.5 inches that you "should" get a camber kit cause your camber will most likely be slightly off. I know Stillen sells one for the Max. Not sure if anyone else does. I think some coilovers also come with camber adjustment features...I "think"...not sure since I don't have coilovers.
