Camber problems finally appeared. =(
So yea... I thought I didn't need a camber kit with my KYB and Eibach Prokit combo. I was wrong.
1 year later, I look at my wheel and you can tell its more worn on the inside than the other parts of the tire. Its not bad...Hence why I haven't noticed it till now, but still worth fixing.
Anyways...Now I have Eibach uprights coming in for the front and Eibach control arms and ball joints coming in for the rear.
Maybe it isn't a problem with bigger rims?
Anywho...Just wanted to let you guys know Prokits + AGX doesn't always mean no camber issues.

It would problaby be worst. Larger rim might mean larger overall wheel diameter and most likely wider tires (depending on your rim and tire choice).
Once you install the camber kit you will also notice that your car will be more stable at high speeds. Please let everyone know. I have stated this many times on this forum but I still read that camber kits are a waste of time and money if your drop is less than 1.5"(using the prokits).

the lower you go the more camber your gonna get, but even if you do a little 1 inch drop your still gonna get a slight camber, fuck it man just flip the tires cuz your drop that high shouldnt wear out the tires as fast as mine (3-3.5 inch drop)

well it looks like you do - its nothing major, but it sounds like Joe had more than normal tire wear on his car. Nothing extreme, but getting camber corrected will definitely lengthen the life of your tires...
