do I need a camber kit?
I was wondering if I need a camber. I'm currently on 2 in lowering springs. I do have an an alignment issue I'm going to fix tomorrow.
I'm currently getting bad wear on the inside of my passenger tire. I haven't checked my driver side. Would an alignment fix my uneven wear issue?
If I need a camber kit any recommendations on a good low cost one? I do intend on raising up the car a little in the near future possible to 2.5 in. Would a camber be necessary then?

Re: do I need a camber kit?
Most tire wear on inside/outside of tire is caused by incorrect toe, bad wheel bearings, bad tie rod ends. Camber correction will help Slightly w/tire wear. Any time ride height is adjusted, alignment is needed because suspension geometry changes.
Most 2in drops shouldn't need camber correction. Cheapest route is offset upper ball joints pressed into factory upper control arms. Whatever you do, please steer clear of the "ingalls" brand camber corr. I've already made that mistake and they sucked! Since been replaced w/S2 adjustable upper control arms. Fixing the camber will also eliminate most "wander". This is when front tires follow grooves in the pavement from cracks/commercial trucks.

Yes, as CTR said, camber kits are a waste of money, don't do it.

Re: do I need a camber kit?
If you didn't get an alignment after lowering your car then that's your problem. Shame another thread like this was yet again created when a little bit of reading and research would have shown there is a sticky in the "suspension section" that says in capital letters YOU DO NOT NEED A CAMBER KIT!!!!
