Camber Question

ok guys, i'm about to pull an HTOWN and slam the shit out of my car. i am buying a rear camber kit for sure. i noticed that right now with it as a half finger gap, that the front camber is a little less than -1 degree negative camber. will i need a front kit to go any lower? i would prefer that the negative camber sit at about -1 degree for my personal driving style. does the camber become a serious issue if i go a little lower?

HELL YES!

I would recommend you getting a front kit because the kits are adjustable and when you get it aligned they can have it set to -1 for you. Otherwise, you will have some inner tire wear and you will not maximize the life of your tire. (Do not let this stop you from doing it though ) Good luck with it bro, and post some pics

also, the offset on my wheels are +45. will i have to trim or roll my fenders? i think that i am going to slam it and see what my negative camber is at. then i will decide on a front kit.
