Default Camber off by 2 degrees at the front. Time for camber kit?

I just got an alignment and they told me I need a camber kit. I'm running H&R Sport and the back seems to be fine. But the front is 1.8 off on the right and 2.1 at the left. Do you think I need a camber kit?

yes you'll need a camber kit.. I think i had my fronts set to -0.5 degrees and my rear to -1. I had it done on the new digital alignment machines and they can tell you and print out the footprint of your tire contact patch.

I'd put some camber kits on if you wanna save your tires.

I know some people will say its all TOE.. but its really not.. its camber.. unless you wanna run some hard long lasting tread compound and rotate all the time, you might make them last a little bit.. but just get a camber kit.

Definetly a camber kit. my friend has the sambe prob but he is running zero toe and it seems to be doing fine actually. No more extra visible wear.

Camber kit isn't necessary. I've been running -1.75 camber on my front tires for a couple of years without noticable wear. Just make sure to rotate your tires more frequently. I also have my alignment done every 6 months to zero out the toe.
