Why do you want to even use a camber kit?

They aren't needed at all for street cars, especially with such a mild drop.

Adding camber for cosmetic reasons...

Ok, this is -4.75* of rear camber. With your lowering, you'll have less than -2* (maybe slightly more in the back due to the EKs rear camber curve). Does the tire look that bad to you?


Eh, its your car. Do what you want.

I'm out of this thread. It also probably belongs in the Appearance / Cosmetic forum

*edit: And before anyone comments (or even notices), yes, that is positive camber in the front. The front of the car was raised 1.5" from the correct European height to meet American headlight height requirements.
