wait till you drop the car, then see about tire wear.
See alot of people think that you need a camber kit when your getting uneven tire wear, but most of the time its just your toe adjustment when getting you car alligned.
i myself own a skunk 2 front camber kit and haven't had a problem in the past year that it has been on, though it did cost me $200 to buy and 25 to get put on when i could have just adjusted the toe instead?

no, you don't need a camber kit. i've been on a 1.5/1.75 f/r for over 2 years and haven't had any uneven tire wear. if you want to be safe, stick a washer in the rear.. just make sure you get it alligned when you put them on
