i did have some benefits with my old camber kit being that my tires were at about 95% of even thread wear after about a year worth of driving.

im actually debating on getting a skunk2 kit also since i was using the uca mounted ingalls kit and im lowered at 2.50F & 2.25R.

I've had 4* of camber in the front for 2 years with no inner tire wear. I doubt you have more than that, so your toe mustn't have been as good as you thought.

What camber kit was it? I really like the new skunk2 EF camber kit cause it has shorter arms? Do you have any pictures of your car with the 2.50f and 2.25r? Is it on a crx?

I had -3.8 degrees after a year i have wear.
Even with 2-3 degrees of negative camber the car is still useing the entire patch.

Skunk2 ball joint boots suck *****, and the rear camber kits make alot of noise.
I have yet to hear any thing bad about buddy club or, you could keep oem and do the washer trick, however you can only do this on the rear.

Extended top hats will help the shock to stop bottoming it self out,
