Negative Camber

Well, I just lowered my car with the Eibach Prokit and I got an alignment done. They told me the front camber was within tolerance level, but the rear wasn't. The rear had a negative camber of 1.4 and 1.8. I was wondering if I should buy a camber kit or not and what kit would be the best for me.

I dont understand. If its not in tolerence level, why even question it? Thats like accidentally hammering a nail in your head and asking if you should remove it.

only you can make that call...

simply stated, cambered tires will not wear evenly across it's width and you will not get full use out of them (the tread along the outer half of the tire can be brand spanking new but the inner edge is like wasted to the inside wires and smooth all around). so you will be needing to buy new tires sooner. this is the consequence...

and it's cool if you totally understood the situation, because only you can pony up the bucks if you believe in them, but what sucks is if you come back *****ing that you gotta replace the tires too soon!
