I've been running no camber kit and over 2.5" dropped on my eg hatch for
a long time now(close to half a year), and my tires are worn... but its fairly even wear.

I did NOT get an alignment though(i've been fudging with the suspension this whole time so i've been putting it off).

Is the no alignment why my camber isnt killing my tires?
or is it the fact that i have only 15" aftermarket wheels.

I think you're just lucky.

 

lucky and the fact that incorrect toe is more damaging to tires than camber. Although, I'm not sure how a 2.5" drop would not affect toe like I have seen in every other Civic I have lowered. Still I think you are wearing your tires excessivly due to poor alignment, tires should last more than 6 months for the most part.

Same thing I did on my EJ, for 3 years. no camber kit here either.

Been dropped for a year on my ej6 with the same tires I had when I first dropped it

 

had an EM1 w/ 205/40/16 toyo proxies, lowered more than 3 1/2" and drove 30k miles before camber wear began to show... never had it aligned, had suspension apart 1/2 a dozen times....

Now I am lowered about 3" with 205/40/17 toyo proxies, and i'm seeing camber wear within 3k miles... time for a camber kit and alignment...

 

Ok, well i bet the 15" rubber helps things.

but yes, I do get excessive wear, at least on my front tires,
I didnt rotate them and now they're practically toast.. but I swapped them to the back and they have stayed about the same for a while now.

My real thing, is that i'm going to get new tires(probly 205-10-15's) and i'm going to get an alignment then.. but i'm worried that i'll have really bad camber wear after the alignment.. but no toe wear of course, heh.

dont really want a camber kit though, cuz it'll most def make me rub

 

ive had mine dropped for a year and a half and there is no camber at all

 

Ive had my 92 CX lowered for about a year now with Neuspeed race springs and NO ALIGNMENT or CAMBER KIT on my stock VX alloys and Bfgoodrich tires with no wear...
