How far can you lower before you need Camber Plates?

Hey guys, I am trying to fiqure out how far I can lower my 08.5 speed 3 without having to use camber plates? I have 19's on it now and want to use the H&R 1.2R 1.3F. Can anyone tell me if it can be aligned without camber plates at that drop?
 
You don't necessarily need camber plates. If you get an alignment after the install, they're going to adjust your toe which will have more affect on tire wear than camber. But if you want to run the same spec as stock, yes, then get camber plates. But then you'll be shoving another $200+ for them and your from will raise another 1/2". But then again, with a small drop, it'll barely change the front camber. As for the rear, a stock MS3 already runs rear camber.
 
i dropped about 2" front and rear and never used plates. it was apparent in the rear, but not too bad. my tire wear wasn't anything crazy.
