adjustable camber plates

If I choose to lower my Min. At what drop in Inches would I be required to put in adjustable camber plates?

There is no requirement for camber plates at any drop but if you add negative camber with plates, you will get better grip in front. The rear gets more and more negative with drop and will need some adj. to get back to stock specs. 05's and 06's have some factory rear camber adjustment but not a lot. If the rear is droped 1.5" or more you will probably need adjustable control arms to get the camber right. Many autocrossers have found that you get better rotation with less rear negative camber.

If you plan on doing any track days the camber plates will pay for themselves in extended front tire life . Not only will the added negative camber keep your outside tread from chunking etc. the car will stick a whole lot better.
