Just wondering, the car was slammed when I got it (on coil overs) and the dude told me he didn't put a camber kit on the car. He said he just got his tires rotated every oil change to balance it out. If I do need one, which is the best camber kit to buy?

You definitly need a camber kit, not only does all that negative camber wear tires quickly but it also adversley affects how your car handles.

Just so you guys know...incorrect toe setting will destroy tires quicker than camber wear.

yeah, i figured there was more negative than just the tire wear. Can someone tell me what the best camber kits are? Like give me good, better, best so I have some options.

im looking at the Skunk2 camber kit but the description just said for the front ($225.53). Dont I also need a kit for the rear?

sorry, but you are completely wrong. negative camber is generally beneficial to your cars handling capabilites - up to a point. negative camber does eat away at your tires a little bit, but not nearly as much as a nonzero toe setting.

get an alignment and set your toe to 0, and you'll be fine. the only reason you'll need a camber kit is to run a specific degree of camber, or if you're real **** about tires.

also search this forum for camber kit. a thread just like this pops up every week (i actually made one myself not too long ago).

so if i make sure my toe is set to 0 and just rotate the tires every oil change I should be straight? I'll get a good camber kit eventually, Id just rather put some $$ into the engine right now.
