i think its not necessary to get a front camber kit unless you want more neg camber; the additional length of the arm compared to the stock arm creates more interference problems with the fenderwell.

no.
you get a camber kit to correct the already negative camber that has been caused by lowering your car and bringing your camber back to stock setting while still being low. I would suggest just getting an engals front kit cheap and effective and use washers in the rear if nessary. in regards to the fenderwell situation, to correct this you get a BFH and bang the s hit out of your fenderwell until (on the ef's) the pinch weld if flat allowing you the extra clearance for your upper control arm. if it still hits, then it is your car telling you to stop being a ricer and raise it until it doesnt hit.

that doesnt mean your camber isnt off you would know on an alignment rack

You do know that toe is the main factor when it comes to tire wear....you can get normal tire wear by just setting that to zero. A camber kit usually isn't neccesary unless you more camber without lowering the car and losing travel.

your not making any sense,
toes is a factor in tire wear if it is out of spec your toe shouldnt go out of spec when lowering. when you lower a honda it causes the wheels to become negatively cambered affecting camber not toe causing wear on the inside edge not cupping

Agreed. Besides, if you've already changed spring rate, ride height, and roll center, why would stock camber be the correct setting when everything else has changed?

why not ingalls?
they've specialize in suspension products
instead of these other companies that make everything
they've been around for a very long time & are probably one of the best if not the best at making camber kits

hmm...i guess then, that all those world touring cars with a good amount of camber in the front are in the wrong? toe is what will wear the inside edge of the tires. I've seen cars with over -4 in front or rear, zero toe, and even tire wear. I guess theyre in the wrong too...
