I searched and had trouble finding help, I will be having progress springs put on stock shocks and struts. with a drop of about 1.5R and 1.8F will I need a camber kit? For both frond and rear? Thank you

Both? I usually only hear about rear camber kits.

With a mild drop like that, you SHOULD be fine with just the rear.
The fronts have some play room to fix the camber.
The rear however have no adjustability from stock spec.
So Yes go get a rear camber kit, it will be worth it, IMO.

I rocked a 2.5inch drop without a camber kit for 6 months.
It was fine, but its best to get a proper alignment, always.

Or you can wait for Megan ones that are $101 shipped from corsport. I couldn't wait so I got Ingalls.

I don't know how the Megans hold, but Wicked Tuning is not something that I hear much about here on ephatch.
I recommend getting something of known quality like SPC, Ingalls, buddyclub, skunk2 ect..

the problem with the cheapies is that they rust, and the bushings tear apart after a short time of use.
This is a more practical case for, "spend the extra now" kinda deal.
You'd be replacing it in months, if you go with the cheapie stuff.
The price of the Wicked Tuning, and Megan aren't on the crazy budget price bracket. But the 4 brands I named up there are popular brands that us ephatch users use.
