The most popular sizes are usually the most expensive. Supply and demand.

NO I repeat NO you do not need a camber kit.

What you need to do is install everything then take your car to an Alignment shop. They will then align your car and depending on how out of spec your camber is, then you will think about a camber kit. Camber does not kill your tires, toe kills tires. As long as the shop is able to get your toe in spec using the stock bolts you are fine.

I ran basic for 3 years and never ran a camber kit and had the same set of tires for almost 20k miles.

With the rears max on my basics my alignment shop was able to get near oem spec.

When I pulled the rear collars I was out of spec on camber but in spec with toe.

Then switch to true coils stance gr + maxed to the lowest and it was finally time to get a camber kit lol

Camber doesn't kill tires? Lol. I think there are plenty of G/Z owners that would beg to differ. All of these cars are different. Some guys have tire wear issues with the stock suspension. Some don't have issues on a tiny drop. They are very picky.

Pulled from Tirerack.com

Additionally the vehicle's toe is one of the most critical alignment settings relative to tire wear. A toe setting that is just a little off its appropriate setting can make a huge difference in their wear. Consider that if the toe setting is just 1/16-inch off of its appropriate setting, each tire on that axle will scrub almost seven feet sideways every mile! Extend it out and you'll discover that rather than running parallel to each other, the front tires will scrub over 1/4-mile sideways during every 100 miles of driving! Incorrect toe will rob you of tire life.

I didn't say toe wasn't bad on tires. Lol... of course it's not good for them to look like /\ or \/ (above view). But that will cause even tread wear but much faster than a normal rolling tire. /\ (rear view) will cause your inner tread to wear much faster than your outer. Which is dangerous due to hydroplaning reasons

Toe kills tires quickly. Camber kills tires slowly. They kill tires in different ways at different rates. Some people can sacrifice a little bit of camber wear for the camber look.
