do i really need a front camber kit?
i got an alignment last yr after dropping my car on sedan S techs and they told me i only needed it in the rear not really in the front. The rear kit fixed the tire feathering but my front tires keep wearing out really fast in the front.
Most people say it's not really needed in the front unless you're really slammed, but then again some people say you need it no matter if it's a small or a big drop. I'm lowered 2" in the front and i'm sick of buying tires. I don't know if the shop i went to didn't do a good job with the alignment or what but i don't wanna go to another shop to do an alignment and still see my tires get worse and worse -__- opinions?

I'm only lowered an inch in the front and I went and got a front camber kit to help my tires last longer. I was running -2.1 camber in the front. Now I'm at -1 just that one degree difference has helped a lot in the life of my tires.
Do a little research in Ichiba's camber kits, then decide if spending the money is still worth it. From what I've seen and heard the front offer no + adjustment for camber correction and the rear bushing get demolished in no time. I unfortunatly have the rear camber arms so I am keeping my fingers crossed while I keep and eye on them.
When you say they your tires wear out fast, how do they wear? Just the inside edge, outer edge, middle, or most of the tread? What are the specs from your last alignment?

I got SPC front and rear camber kits. They were a little pricey but worth. I could have gone with more positive camber if I wanted to.
