yes you do need them. your tires are messed up. get them and watch when they put it on they will give you a sheet showing you how your tires are leaning to on side. next time search man. im not trying to be an [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] but just do it next time cuz most likely your question has been asked like 1000000000000 times.

I would get them, make sure you buy the positive kind because you don't want too much negative cambers.

Ever seen DTM, BTCC or NATCC cars? Those things run soem serious negative camber front and rear, with the rears tucking in almost halfway down the rim! IMO, it kinda looks cool, plus the handling is better in the corners. Unfortunately, it's just not very good for your tires.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

with 1.75, you don't need them. it's a waste of money. with more than 2 they are necessary, but the neg camber is hardly noticable in the rear with that much drop, and not noticable in the front. don't worry about it, save your money for something else.

i'm guessing your car isnt even dropped? cause i have a 1.75" drop and almost an inch of the outside part of my tires arent even touching the floor. whether it makes a big difference or not is the question.
