Have you gotten a good alignment after you lowered your car? I don't have a camber kit and my tires wear pretty well. I just got an alignment, have been riding dumped for about a year now and was on H&R's before that.

dropped to 2 fingers on 18s my camber reading is Left neg 1.4 and Right neg 1.2 front
rear L neg 1.2 and R neg 1.4 neg 1.0 is spec Limit

I am going to play with the corner height a little and see if I get get the camber even side to side in the front, for equal turn in response to input.
The back to the place for the toe adjustment
If you are past 1.5 neg think about kits- thats you dropped into the fenders poeple

well your back tires should have more camber than your fronts. the rear tires always come with 1/2 to 1 degree of negative camber. its to help when you take turns.

I am at a little less than 1 finger gap all around with the SPC front and rear kits. I am 100% in spec with my alignment.

Sounds like you just need an alignment. Get one and see from there if you needa camber kit. If your wearing on the front inside only then that tells me you have a TOE issue

From what I just checked, they dont beat our acurazine sponsoring vendors price on the camber kits
Those vendors pay every month to make this site happen for us. When possible, use them if price is the same. If not for our sponsors, it would cost money to ask a question or maybe azine simply would not be here. Reading things here has already saved me hundreds,and probably thousands of $$$ over the life of the car.
