No, you don't need camber links for the pro kits. What size are the tires you're running?

any drop lower than 1.6in a camber kit is recommended. prokits are 1.4

Yes... I had pro-kits and MS3 rims on my last car and got the alignment done at a dealership and they said everything is good.

you might still want to get camber kits anyway, just to have the versatility already built in there. In case you ever decide to get a lower drop

This has been covered a bazillion times already.

Whether you need to replace the camber links depends on where in the camber is within the allowable range before the drop. If it's at the edge of the range and drop pushed the camber past the edge, you need after-market camber links.

i got prokits installed the other week by jimmy and i had an alinment done before hand becasue i hit a sink hole and ruined my camber. i was out, -3.00, already without being lower. it all depends on what your camber is before you lower. i knew i was out so i got the cambers done at the same time. saved me time and money doing it that way.

it all depends on what your at, camber wise, before you lower. simple as that

I lowered my car on Pro Kits 1.2" and I am driving on 18" Mazda 3 Speed wheels.

No problem at all.
