You will get induced negative camber when you lower your car with either coilovers or springs, no matter the brand. That's the way the suspension is designed to do as the wheels move up higher into the wheel well. To correct this negative camber or to adjust it to whatever specifications, you will need camber kits because the front camber is not adjustable with OEM parts, and the rear is only adjustable up to a certain point. What people are trying to convey is, that for some, correcting for this induced camber is considered optional. If you can live with the possibility of uneven tire wear and having to replace the tires sooner, or you don't need to tweak the camber to adjust how your vehicle handles, then you CAN go without an aftermarket camber kit.

And, you can go with aftermarket springs WITHOUT having to simultaneously replace the OEM shocks with aftermarket ones.
