Camber kits is it necessary?

RecentlyI had my car dropped with eibach springs pro kit 2.0 front 1.7 rear and I've noticed that my tires is wearing down rather quickly on the inside, mainly the front. I remembered the mechanic mentioning something bout CAMBER correction kit. At the time I was too excited bout lowering my CL and pay no attention. So the questions is...What is a Cambers? do I need it? and how much will it cost? is it hard to do? Does anybody has this problem? Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

everyone's car is different so we don't know if you need a camber kit until you get the alignment calculations

there are front and rear set ups... usually the prokit you'll need rear but not fronts...

search is your friend. you'll find plenty of info on this.

yes, its necessary when you lower a car, especially if youre already noticing wear. search and you'll find all the info you need.

if you can give us your specs, then we can tell you if you need it or not. personally, i'm out of spec by 0.2deg in the rear, but it doesn't bother me.

i have exact same wheel and tire size and mine are probably good a year with no camber kit and an alignment, might have something to do with your tires treadwear number. My tires are nankang

I needed one bad.

I definitely needed a camber kit. I kept getting alignments and the car never really drove 100% straight after i got it lowered. Since I got the camber kit last summer, I've had no problems whatsoever!
