I would say go for the skunk2 style setup (the second set in red) I am using an adjustable ball joint set on my front and it has caused me alot of trouble not camber but from body damage from the top bolt hitting the inside of my tire well when I hit rough pavement.

I am planning to get a set of the skunk2 front cambers ASAP. just my 2 cents.

You do not need a camber kit.

Get an alignment, and save your money. Your tires WILL be fine.

Toe wears tires, not camber. Period.

I thought we went over this in a similar thread last week?
Camber does wear tires depending on your driving... if you tend to drive agressively your car will benefit from negative camber. That means high speed cornering.
If you drive conservatively then you should get a camber kit so you can adjust according to your style of driving.
Do not take advice from people who claim they have the miracle setup. These kit were designed and tested and have a purpose.

I don't know what thread you're referring to, but a camber kit is not necessary at all, even for normal driving. I've been pretty much "driving normal" every day for years with negative camber, no correction, and I have very little tire wear issues.

Alignment is what's important. You should have the car aligned at least once or twice a year, regardless if you have a camber kit or not. But if you don't have one and you get it aligned as often as you should, then you won't have any problems.

alignment deals with three main aspects Camber Caster and Toe...
All three need to be addressed in order to have "like stock" tire to ground contact.
improper tow would not cause the inner tread to wear out faster than the outer it would cause an uneven wear pattern on the whole tire (bumpy tread)
Camber refers to the pivot form the hub.
