You say you do have a front camber kit, but your tires are still wearing funny? Did you get an alignment after you lowered your car? Sounds like toe to me... the inner edges of my old Yokahomas wore completely bald when I lowered my car... not from camber (only a 1.5" drop), but from incorrect toe.

 

Ive got 12k miles on my tires now, My Front camber is SET to -1.75 and my rears are SET to -1.5 and I show very very little "camber" wear, but my toe is a ZERO front and back.

Moral of the story, you dont need camber kits, you need a good alignment where the guy actually does his job and zeros your toe.

 

i think anytime u get ur car lowered..4 inch or 1 inch u need cambers...

 

ENTIRELY NOT TRUE.

 

so can some1 tell me for real do i need a camber kit for a 1.5 to 2 at the max drop. oh also the front, back, or both. its confusing some say yes some say no. I am trying to make up my mind if i should do this or not, i am trying to get the cost together

 

NO YOU DO NOT NEED THEM.

When you lower your car, you WILL have camber.

I have said this a thousand times....CAMBER DOES NOT WEAR OUT TIRES....BUT TOE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after you lower your car, take it to a good alignment shop and make sure they set your front and rear toe to ZERO. And you will be fine.
