WOW... Install some 3" drop springs or coilovers and lower the sh*t out of it. That'll give you FLASHY camber!

Lowering it will automatically give you camber. A 2" drop seems to give about 2.2* rear, 1.9* front on a civic with the toe zeroed out.

There's a guy on the suspension forum running 4* at 1" down using a camber kit. I've been running 2* myself with the toe zeroed out for about a week and haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear... I'm watching it pretty closely.

A couple of degrees of camber makes a very noticeable difference in handling properties as the suspension loads up, and supposedly doesn't affect tire wear as long as the rest of the alignment is spot on.

Actually, I'd agree with this. It's absolutely retarded to increase camber for purely cosmetic reasons.
