camber kit
#2
your wheels tend to squat inward when you lower your car. Say you have zero camber like this |--|....then you lower your car and get negative camber like this /--\
Since alignments sometimes can't fully correct overly cambered specs, camber kits provide more adjustments to correct this so that your inner tires don't get worn out faster due to too much negative camber.
I believe negative camber is the proper term, not positive. Someone can correct me if I have this the other way around. I always get this mixed up.

that wont work, because of the camber the inside is always being worn faster. That means even if you rotate the tires then the inside will still be the inside.
I dont know if his tires are directional but if the are (most likely for the speed rating) then you can take the tire off and reverse it so the inside is now the outside.
The solution is 1, buy the kit, 2 buy new tires every year.

At least you can get a little more wear out of your tires before you have to scrap them.

the more negative camber you have, the more the top of the weel leans into the body. If you're dropping your car, without adjusting the camber, you'll have more negative camber the lower you go. Thus, if you're gonna drop your car significantly, you need a kit to give you more positive camber.
