I just have a simple question. My car is lowered 1.6 inches and i want to know if the only way to make my camber right is with a camber kit??

With that much of a drop you don't need one really. Anything lower than 2" you should look into a camber kit. But what wears tires out faster is toe. SO make sure that's checked or even set front and rear to 0 toe.

My toe is fine. I checked it at my auto school and the only thing that is wrong is the camber. Even when i look from the front of the back of the car i can see that my wheels have negative camber. Its wearing my tires pretty badly. My rear is .1 lower then my front and its almost bald.

You can't judge it by looking. I would get specs from an alignment shop to be sure. I ran with a 2" drop and -2.7 camber front and -2.0 rear and my tires are wearing fine.
But yeah I've been autocrossing for about 7 years now. I'm regional champion 3 years in a row and top 3 podium finishes Nationally for Valvoline Cup.

There is no set setting on any camber kit when you lower your car so many inches. You have ot take it to an alignment shop.
