Will a camber Kit be necessary if I don't care about tire ware?

Hey whats up guys looked around for some information on this already but didn't find anything. Well i have an 03 coupe dropped on BC Coilovers. Its my daily driver, about a one finger gap between tire and fender

I have 19" rims front is 9.5 and rear is 11. 245/35 front and 275/35 rears.

Now my question is, will a camber kit be necessary if i do not care about excessive tire ware (i get almost brand new tires for nearly nothing). Will not having a camber kit cause more major damages in the long run..?

Any info will be appreciated! thanks!

No, but I don't see why you would not get a camber kit. Even if you get tires for super cheap, you would save money down the road by buying a camber kit now.

If you haven't yet, I would still recommend getting an alignment to try to get as close to factory specs as you can... Camber not only affects tire wear, but also drive-ability. But like others said, why wouldn't you install camber kits?

mAYBE he only drives the car occasionally and/or seasonally and tire wear isn't an issue for him. I know that's the reason I never put a camber kit on. I put about 2000 miles a year on my car (maybe less) and could really give two ***** about tire wear. I'm only putting camber arms on my car cuz they look really good when someone sees the rear or underside of your car...and peer pressure. but mostly peer pressure.

He said it was his daily driver.

I was projecting. Not getting a camber kit for a daily is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life. That said, he's not REALLY lowered and will probably still be fine without one.

Lets see some pix. But if you dont care about that then dont worry about it. Only damage will be the tires. Do you know much camber your at?
