no, I just dropped my car 1.4 inches on Eibach Sportlines and you don't need a camber kit.

Did you have it properly aligned? My tires are just dandy after 4 months with the toe set to zero.

Just need alignment with toe set to zero. No need for a camber kit. Camber does not kill tires very quickly. Improper toe does.

With the car lowered, My back tire was hitting 75% of the road. In stock form the car has alot of camber. Yea toe eats tires, but camber will do it too. If camber wasnt an issue, why do they make kits?

Take a look at stock form, then when it is lowered. You will see a big differance.

Because people that don't know any better will buy them.
In some cases it's necessary. With these springs it's not. HTH.
