here is my take, lowered the car 2 inches, set alignmnet but not camber because o no kit, tires worn out 5000 miles, now have ingalls kit upfront with adjustable moving balljoint, and camber arm adjusters out back, set the camber at negative 1 all four corner, tires still 50 percent tread after 20000 miles handle like a dream. Get camber kits.
And get the eibach sway bar kit 260, biggest they make for our cars

Here's my take, if you are lowered 2 inches, you have no need at all for a camber kit. I am lowered 2 inches all around and my front camber is barely at -0.4 degrees and my rear is at -1.5 degrees. You, sir, wasted your money.

lol, word.

ive had gobs of camber for like the past year, and ive put 12k miles on my car since i put the suspension on. my tires are perfectly fine. for tires to wear out that fast, 5k miles, the toe had to be screwed up, which shouldve been fixed in the alignment.

Well Sketch you're on stock rims too. From what I understand, the thicker OEM tire size doesn't get as much tire wear as low profile tires.
