camber problem!

if a car has camber problem on the front wheels (inner part of the tire wears out fast) after a drop, will the problem still exist if i raise the car back up w/ stock suspension? also i believe when there's camber problem, the tires creat lots of noise, right?

Are you sure its a camber problem and not a toe problem? Toe wears out tires faster than camber. Get an alignment and things will be ok

If you drop the car more then 1.5 inches you will need camber kits on the front and rear. If you use Comptech springs then you will only need a rear camber kit. Anytime you do any suspension work it wise to align the car. Many people don't because they think the $69.00 is a waste of money. What do tires cost ??? Not to mention when you lower the car and it's aligned properly it looks very very nice.
