Not sure what you're asking. Camber refers to the orientation of the wheels, are you asking about a camber kit that adds more adjustability of camber settings? If so there's really no way to tell if you will need one on a slight drop until you drop it and see how the tires wear. Common perception is if you drop 1" or less you don't need them. I had a different experience on sedan H Techs, didn't get either front or rear kits because of the mild drop and it still ate my tires quickly.

Yes, that is what I was asking

How much did the H techs drop? Did you get an alignment after, and was it in spec?

Yes they will fit but you will have slight camber, nothing to really worry about

IIRC the drop was slightly less than an ince, the car was aligned twice after the springs settled, and it wouldn't get back to factory alignment specs.

So I guess I could just get the springs since they are fairly inexpensive, and mount them.

Ill go get an allignment, if they get alligned to factory specs, no problem, otherwise take them off and sell them.

If they are in factory specs, tires should wear properly right?

Was your experience rare? Or is it a common problem?

I just bought my first set of tires for 19" OEM rays....talk about sticker shock, so I really want them to last.

You can search it up, but I believe some people with this drop have asked their shop to align the suspension to Z specs -- you can find those out on this site or any decent shop should have them. I have the G/Z drop (see my garage for how the car sits -- nice, even wheels gaps) and while there is no camber wear specifically, my car tends to eat rear tires, though it wears them out pretty evenly. It's not due to the power or my driving habits, trust me, LOL! I think mine is a different issue, maybe toe.

z/g drop will not require a camber kit...the rear will only go down maybe a half an inch. Your searching wrong if your seeing people have issues with it, this is a very very weak drop and a waste of time IMO lol

swivelhips also mentioned that his suspension caused his rear tires to go quickly
