Default Camber kit Question

Do i need a camber kit?

well i align my car when i got my new rims and when i install the spring i didnt do a alignment..tsk tsk,......

i forgot to allign my car so my tire was threading in the inside ....in front.....(9 months)
my car is 95 LX accord ....i got a H&R spring Sports spring 1.75Front and 1.50Rear.
maybe the thread wear comes from under inflation too......it was set to 24psi warm .....and now running with 39 front psi and 37 rear......and i did a tire rotation cuz as i told yo guys before that my tire in front was threading in the inside . good thing the rear is in excellent condition and put it in the front.... now i need a new tire ARghh for the rear....

i read the Faqs i...camber kit is needed for lowering car over 2.0....???

You shouldn't need a camber kit.

Although you are CRAZY for not getting an alignment - reasons:

You won't know what your camber is and whether you need a kit.
Toe is what is most likely causing alot of your tyre wear.
Your car probably handles like ****.

since you can shim the rear upper arm to reduce camber, it should be dirt cheap to adjust your camber. front should be fine..

other than that.. as razaman said, you're probably running decently heavy toe in and grinding down your tires a lot sooner than they should.
