Do I really need a camber kit?
You mean a few tenths of a degree? A few degrees is some major movement and is definitely not possible with the stock arms.
My springs only increased my rear camber by three of four tenths of a degree so I was hoping they'd be able to get it back to spec with the stock arms. My alignment shop told me there was no adjustment though. I don't have exact numbers, but they said my rear was right around -1.75 degrees which really isn't bad.

don't mean to thread jack but was looking for the answer to a similar question. My specs after a drop on a X on BC Coils on 19's are as follows: -2.3 degrees and -2.6 degrees in the front. My rear is fine (-1.5 and -1.2) with a Ichiba Camber Kit. Will I suffer much by driving around for 2 weeks without a Front Camber Kit?

One many people on here that are doing the hellaflush movements purposely do 2 degrees of camber and have no problems getting 10-15k+ on their tires. Hell some guys go -5 ~ -6 of camber.
I would not worry about going a few hundred miles on it.
also your rear camber is NOT within spec but it is fine and you are not going to notice too much camber wear. REAR OEM specs are -.01~ -1.1 degrees.
so every 5k you would pay about 60$ to flip tires just because you wanted to run camber... yes it makes sense if you are going for a show and etc but honestly 85%+ of us bought these cars to be daily driven and at a low cost.
to me $300 up front now will make your tires last longer and not require you to flip tires and etc. A lot of guys on here run 19's and well cheapest tire i've ever seen in 19's were about $150 each.

shrinking wallet
I got 19000 miles out of some hankooks (front tires. rear is cool) after eiboch pro kit. Wallet is defenitely feeling it. Is it possible to pic up a camber kit used. I priced it new and i thought i would rather just buy tires. Kind of re- thinking it now. If anybody knows of a good place to pick up a kit for the front let me know. My rear is ok, like everybody else's it seems.

ya damn i got like 13k out of my previous set of hankooks and about 7k out of my front nankings, but that was alot of heavy mountain driving and messes up toe
hankook's v12 tires should be like 30k mile ballpark average on a normal car.
to get 13k or 19k is about 50-66% of what you should be getting. in a sense driving like this on your 2nd set of tires you already paid for the kit.

2 degrees is a very small change. Just get an alignment, A L I G N M E N T, to bring toe within spec and you will not have problems with tire wear whatsoever.
Also, there is adjustability for rear camber on the 05/06. Not sure about 03/04.
