Isnt it the case a lot of sport cars with staggered wheels come with a little camber from the factory?

Anything over 1/2"(Z springs) if you want completely normal tire wear

These cars wear the insides of your tires with no drop or modification. And yes, sports cars come with a little bit of negative camber, but there's a difference between "a little bit" and "only riding on 2 inches of the inside of the tire". The front suspension is extremely flawed.

I'm on swift springs 1"f 1.1"r with spring mount mod. I installed the spc rear camber kit with bolts and alignment is right on the money. The front is out .6 degree left and 1 degree right. I've put 2000 miles and see zero abnormal tire wear. I just ordered the Kinetix from camber arms cause I can. My OCD wants the front right on as well.

The kinetix front arms are the best. Feels like a different car when yer alignment is on. I'm at about 0.9 negative camber on the front and I'm finally using my whole front tire. Awesome.

We'll see how my conservative setting work for tire mileage, close to 10K miles on my Pilot Super Sports and show zero sign of wear...Gary

In my head? I don't think so, my friend. Riding on 2 inches of the inside of my tire vs 10 inches of tire makes quite a noticeable difference. It's called contact patch and its real.

You're talking about the V1 kinetix with the exposed balljoint. Total pos, but also totally different animal. They fixed the problems and covered the joint. Kinetix has the most adjustability for camber of any arm, its a set it and forget it camber setting and the ball joint is a seperate piece so when it needs replacing you can buy just the joint rather than whole new arms. I'll post my before and after alignment specs if you'd like.
