When you lower your car, your camber becomes more negative. Like this: / on the left side and \ on the right side. The more you lower your car, the worse your camber will get.
To correct this you can buy a camber kit which will make yours tires straight again. Like this: | on the left side and | on the ride side. Also, factory specs for our cars are not 0 camber, I believe they are slightly negative (this helps with handling.)
Having bad camber makes your tires prematurely wear, so buying a camber kit when your car is lowered is a good idea.
I also suggest to everyone to buy camber kits even if their car is lowered less than 2". I've got Neuspeed Sport's on my car and my camber has destroyed my tires over about a year. Buying camber kits would have been cheaper than it will be to buy new tires.

Re: cambers (tinkertime)
ha ha. camber kits are for cars that are lowered. the car without a camber kit will sit on the inside of the tires. a camber kit will correct this and position the tires flat and even on the ground
