Yea i guess it can be considered true. My progress camber kit came with some bolts and bushings for the rear. You just have to use as many washers as it takes to correct the negative camber or so that's what I get out of it.

It all depends on how negative your camber is. My car is pretty low and I only have these little metal shim things. There like washers almost. It dosent depend on the car, it depends on the camber.

When I dropped my Civic without a camber kit the front and rear both wore but the front wore about 4 times quicker than the rear.

It depends on how negative your camber is,
but most people dont need to buy a rear kit.
It can usually be corrected with "shims" or washers.

i only have camber kit on the front and it seems to be doing good...i have the ingalls...no kit in the back, but the reason fronts wear out so quick is because they do all the action....turning and accelleration.

camber corrections are great is you want to conserve tires. but if you have some cambering, it will improve your handling if tuned correctly. Its just a tradeoff between good handling or good tirewear. just a tip
