I got them on my EM1 last year to help with tire wear. So far so good, haven't had any problems

Yeah, its my daily driver, the streets are my track. Got mine from eBay but dont remember how much. Make sure to take the car to the alignment shop after having them installed and its tightened, because the idiot who did mines was really tight so it loosened up after a while and had positive camber. Took it back to have it redone and they didnt charge me.

You haven't had any tire wear problems because the alignment shop adjusted the front toe to factory specs, not because of any camber kits you had installed or adjusted.

Most likely those OBX kits are junk. You don't need them anyway for a daily driver. Just take it to an alignment shop, and tell them you only need the toe-in adjusted, which is the only thing adjustable anyway. If they try to tell you they can't unless you get a camber kit, GO TO ANOTHER SHOP because that is a flat-out LIE.

Negative camber can wear tires slightly, but toe-out will eat tires for breakfast!
