Why do you think you need a camber kit? If you are lowered, most likely you just need an alignment with the toe set to factory specs.

If the inside of your tires are wearing, then I'm betting you didn't get an alignment after you lowered the car, and the tire wear is caused by toe-out, NOT because of negative camber.

Save yourself the time, money, and hassle and just keep your stock control arms, and get a regular 4-wheel alignment.

I don't believe it. I want to see the printout from your alignment.

I'm betting they didn't do a very good job setting the toe and thrust angle correctly. I've had nearly -3 deg. camber with even tire wear due to correct toe settings.

Ha patrick you are right. i did some research on tires wears and your right i just got another question how can you adjust toe in a 1995 integra 4dr. And if your car camber and you have perfect toe settings can you gave me an idea how long my tires would last with normal driving habits.

Just depends on tire compounds... I typically got about 30K miles out of a set of V or Z rated Yokohama ES100's.

Toe on pretty much every car made is adjusted via the outer steering tie rods up front. On a Honda w/ rear trailing arms, there are toe compensator arms towards the forward end of the RTA's that have a slotted hole, which slide and change the toe angle of the rear tires.
