Front camber issues

Hey guys. So i LOVE my drop i have on right now but unfortunately i think this is cause lot more problems later like tire wear...So i just dropped my car on megan coilovers about 2.2" in the front and im prob going to bring it up so i have a 1.6-1.7" drop. I was wondering if this drop will cause a really bad tire wear? Would i need a front camber kit? Would i be able to get it into factory specs? thanks guys

It will definately cause camber wear but not as bad as a 2.2" drop. If you don't want to get a camber kit, its all about balancing how low you want to go and how often you want to buy new tires.

Yes, it is a sizable drop and you will have bad tire wear. There is no OEM adjustment whatsoever up front so you won't be able to get it back into spec. Most likely you will need both front and rear camber kits.

Depends on your driving style. If you have a lot of negative camber your tires can wear 4 times faster. The wear actually happens on the inside of the tire so you can have a shop flip them and get more use out of them as long as the tires are not unidirectional.
