Default Questions on lowering 7th gen accord sedan

I just bought Skunk2 Springs that have a 2" Front Drop & 1.7" Rear Drop. I am told I can have up to a -2.5 camber in the rear. My questions are:

Will the 1.7" drop cause the camber to exceed the allowance of -2.5?

Will I need a camber kit for the front and rear or can a good shop align it without one?

I will be putting 18x7.5 rims with a 40 offset...will these rub on the 2 inch drop?

thanks for your help...

Some of your questions (wheel rub) were answered previously for your wheel size - search the forum, have seen some good info by finch.
You will need a camber kit if you want to bring the alignment to factory specs - but do you?
I found an interesting article on this, they state you can go with -2, -3 negative camber max and be ok if you rotate the wheels, which you should any ways. The advantage is improved handling, so s'up to you. If you just go for the looks get the kit, if you want better handling try it w/out.
Need to consider taking it in for an assessment to an alignment shop, to know what angles you have after the change - and adjust toe to factory spec, very important. If not you'll shave off rubber very fast.
