Camber Help

Well...I should be getting rims soon if all goes well. Springs and shocks shortly thereafter. I was thinking about Eibach Prokits with either KYB AGX or Koni Yellows.

Do I need camber? I mean, will it make ANY difference at all (aka make my tires last any longer than if I didn't have camber)? Cause I always like to do things right the first time. I know I don't "need" a camber kit for anything under 2", but will my tires last longer if I do get one. Or will it not make any difference at all.

Thanx ahead.

-Joe

my car is down about 2.5" and I desperately need a front camber kit... I chewed through a pair of tires in like 5kmi... it sucks. Although the rear tires wear just fine, they are still brand new. Go figure, the rear tires are easy as hell to straighten out with a couple washers... the front you gotta spend like $200 for a friggen camber kit.

But what if I only drop it 1.5" with the Prokits?

I've had mine now for at least 3 months and tires seem fine. My camber was within the specs, like 1.5 or less. Tires don't seem to be wearing unevenly. I could take a pic for you.
