will this help my tires?
Will a camber kit help my tires wear evenly cuz my front tires are wearing out on the inside faster than the outside....and i've been told they only help a lil.....what would you experienced ppl suggest? and would anybody be able to help?
yes you need a camber kit im haveing the same prob it really depends on how much your tires are wearing mine are wearing really fast i need one bad but only on the front how i did you lower your car

Yea it will help you out big time... Prevents any uneven tire wear. Grab some ingalls slide camber kits, or the SPC ball joints ones... both of em are good

thanx.....my tires become bald in the inside in like 3 months or so....maybe 4......i lowered my car about 2 inches...although it looks way more....
Here's an example how bad negative camber can be for tire life.
I got 205/45/17 Z-rated tires and my friend got 205/40/17 Z-rated for his accord in the same month. He lowered his car 2.5" while I did only 1.8". I got a camber kit by Sprint for all 4 corners and he didn't get one. I currently have over 23,000 miles on my Z rated tires and have had them for 3 years. He had his tires for 6 months and only 4,000 miles before they went bald on the inside.
Moral of the story:
Getting a camber kit, not dropping the car a lot, and chosing a larger tire profile will all help with reducing tirer wear due to negative camber.
A little negative camber does help with handling, but I honostly would rather have tire life over handling because replacing tires gets really expensive really fast.

depending on the severtiy of your camber it may or may not effect tire wear
once you go beyond -2 degrees then camber will wear your tires, until then what is eating away at your tires is your toe
have the alignment shop printout the settings for you and make sure they set your toe at 0 or as close to zero they can get

i use 205/45/17 Z tires with a 2.5" drop....my tires go bald in the inside in about 5 months.....what camber kits do you suggest? for front and back or just front because its only my front end thats wearing fast
whichever you choose you'll need an adjustability of up to 3 degrees there's a groupbuy right now on and Ingalls kit for 130 you should invest in a camber kit tires ain't cheap and cheap tires are no good
i have ingalls in the front of my 5th gen, and washers in teh rear. my car rubbed ALOT with 225/40-18 rubber, lowered 2" on 18x7.5 +42 rims. on the other hand, my roomate's car didnt rub (also a 5th gen accord). he didnt have camber kits tho.... just some food for thought
