Lightbulb Quick Camber Question

I did a search but did not find the answer to my question. I lowered my TL 1.25 in front and 1.5 in back. I have noticed uneven tire wear. Usually, would I just need a camber kit for the rear or both front and rear? I have noticed that some people have only added one to the rear.

Thanks.

Alignment might fix your problem. If the inside edge of your tires are wearing, you most likely have a negative camber issue. I am conservatively dropped (old comptechs) and still had to get rear camber kits. My passenger side rear was off specs.

Thanks for the input. I have had an alignment. I had my tires rotated twice before I noticed the even wear so it is hard to determine if it is the front or the rear that is wearing uneven. When I look at the car from a distance the rear looks like it has a negative camber. I know that looking at it is not the most accurate way to tell.

How long ago did you have your alignment checked?? Also, did they set in the toe to zero. Most people attribute uneven tire wear to camber, when it's often the toe that's eating up the tires. I have my car at nearly -2.0 camber without any uneven tire wear. I just make sure to rotate my tires frequently and have the alignment checked every 6 months.
