what springs did you use and how much did they lower the car?

I would just save the money and use the washers in the rear if you are really worried about it...although with toe set correctly all around, camber wear should be minimal unless you are super low.

Also, I've heard the SPC camber kit is one of the best.

neither. get an alignment and you'll be fine. the whole camber eats tires thing is a big myth. search this forums archives for camber, and you'll get some good results.

an out of spec toe setting is what eats your tires, not negative camber. set the toe to spec, and don't worry about the camber. the inside edge of your tires will wear very slightly, because setting the toe perfectly to spec is not easy when non zero camber is present; but this is nothing to be concerened about. the only reason to invest in a camber kit is if you desire to run a specific camber setting - not to save your tires.
