damn dude, your never gonna get that camber in to be true. Unless you cut your inner fender and re-weld some supports in there. Or you can just cut away. I'm totally against cutting though.......................

hmm, 16''s huh, you got the camber bolts right. Well, mine is lowered 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the back, with 17's. I have the a-arm barely touching the inner fender, and its in the green on the alignment machine. barely in the green. And your runnin 2.50 with 16's, might be a little prob, but, try it out first. I'm not tryin to discourage you bro

it looks good, and be honest, handles better to me, but man, when those tires start showing wire, it doesnt justify

you can always to the washer trick for the rear. it works and does the same thing as those camber bolts do

hey Im useing the Eibach allignment kit for the rear and not sure what ima do up front might have to use bolts and washers *sigh* although i did see a thread a while back where someone took the skunk2 adjustable front control arm from a EG and fabed it to a ef control arm. You should search for the thread.

alotta people dont know this but when you lower your car you get alot of toe out which intern wares your tires faster... camber has little to do with it unless your drifting or burning out.... my .02

100% true.

Camber won't effect your tire wear nearly as much as the toe being off. Your car isn't lowered all that much, so don't worry about having a couple of degrees of camber....it will actually make it handle better. Get an alignment and have the toe set to spec or to 0 degrees on all 4 corners.
