You mean you're just eye-balling it? What's the specific problem you are having?

No, the camber isn't killing your tires, the fact you didn't get an alignment is. Whenever the ride height is changed, the toe changes. Toe eats tires, and eats them faster if there is camber, but will still wear them even if your camber was zero. Go get an alignment, and then pick up some new tires.

i will but its the fact that most shops needs me to raise my car up to stock height to do an alignment and then when i drop it..there would be no point to the alignment. thats why it's taking me so long to get an alignment..gotta find a shop that'll do it dropped or semi dropped...also why i got a camber kit to help till i can get an alignment

If this shop wont do the alignment with your car lowered then find a shop that isnt full of idiots that will do it. If your car is so damn low you cant get it on the rack then you should raise it anyway. If your having some kind of body kit issue trying to get the car on the rack you might have to take your lip/ splitter whatever off.
