It's called a camber kit for lowered cars. Sounds about right.

you really dont need to correct your camber.

as long as you got the toe aligned, youll be fine in terms of tire wear.

trust me. as long as your toe is fine, your tire wear will be fine. i have azenis that still have good tire tread that is even and i had -2.5 camber.

how low are you dropped?

yeah, its not overly extreme.

youll be fine.

the alignment shop wanted you to adjust the camber to get it back in "spec". but its not necessary, and even beneficial to handling to have negative camber, especially when youre already lowered and have stiffer springs.

misaligned toe is the main reason why tires wear unevenly anyway.
