Default camber kits

Well, last summer after I got my car lowered I never thought to check how the camber was looking. So when I took my wheels off for the winter, the inside of my front tires were worn all to hell. So when I put them back on I'm going to rotate them bec/ the back ones weren't that bad. But I'm planning on getting new tires this summer but I want to get a camber kit first, bec/ I wanna get some good tires and I don't want to **** 'em up in a month. I don't really know how much camber kits run, but I don't want to spend all that much. If anyone has any suggestions on some good kits at fairly good prices, it'd be much appreciated. Thanx in advance.

They are expensive, but its better than replacing tires like everynow and then. It'll pay for itself($100+ for the front). Ingalls sells a kit and so does SPC. Its the messed up toe that gives u such a fast uneven wear, get a alignment and u shouldnt have to replace them as often.

I did get an alignment when I noticed the camber. But it didn't do a damn thing. I think it's also ******* up my winter tires now too. And if those go bad I'm going to be pissed, they were expensive. Any good sites to order kits from? I'll pretty much pay whatever I have to.

is your front toe not at 0?

People can run crazy camber in the front (-1.7 or more), and still have the tires wear less than the rear simply because the rear usually has a little bit of toe-in. That's why you see a lot of problems with rear camber, because of rear toe-in.

I honestly have no idea about my toe. I don't even know how I'm supposed to check that. Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

...I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this ****...
