Here's the deal. From looking at my summer tires I had on last year I have some uneven wear wear *on the inside* which I believe indicates the camper adjustment? Anyways - people are telling me to go with a camber kit, while others say its not necessary. I obviously don't want to keep buying tires for my car because of this. It is not THAT bad but I dont want it to becomr worse. So my question is - do I get it, if so what kind and will it work with my Tein Coilovers?

FYI = I have a 1999 Honda Prelude (non-sh)

 

I'm assuming that you didn't get an alignment; or if you did, the toe was set 'in spec' and not actually 0.

If that's true, a camber kit on it's own isn't goint to help. You need to get an alignment when changing ride height.

 

I bought the car lowered. I just put on my 18s for the summer and the kid said wheb he put it on our alignment machine it was reading negative.

Yes. The specs were meant for stock ride height / camber. You can have toe 'in spec' and still get toe wear if you have alot of camber. Camber makes your tires more suceptable to toe wear, so when you lower, it's very important to get your toe as close to 0 as possible.

 

Some day, in a far off land, people will understand this subject.
