Eventually your tires are going to wear out guys. Just save yourself some money and go buy a camber kit. I have the SPC kit and I have no complaints. I got mine from www.truehonda.com for $188 shipped

A buddy of mine just put Eibach ground control coilover and to adjust his camber, he just put 3 washers on to even out the wheels. Works perfect. Cost him $2.

Unless you're dropped over 1.75", I don't see the point in getting a camber kit. A good alignment will be all you need. There WILL be camber wear, but it won't be enough that you'll have to replace your tires significantly sooner. Example - my rear camber has always been off by a couple off degrees in the negative. Yes I do have camber wear in the rear, but you REALLY have to look to see it. There isn't significantly more wear on the inside of the tire than the outside surface there. I have to replace these tires, but it's due to the fronts being worn out from me pushing hard on the corners. The rears are still great.

I am on here looking for a reason to buy a camber kit. My rear wheels on my sedan are aiming i at the tops. I bought Eibach Sportlines for my 2002 LX a year and a half ago, dropped the car nearly two inches. Still running the same 15" stock Enkei rims from Honda and the crappiest Firestone tires ever. I have easily put 40000 KLM's on these and still have what I consider good tread with very little un-even wear on the tires.

Okay here is my concern though... stuck with stock shocks. Front is nice and stiff like it should be and no camber problems at all. Rear of car bounces over bumps and is cambered in. I am swapping my stock rims and crappie tires with a friend for her 17" MTS rims and Nankang? tires... apparently made by Falken? I am worried about wear now being an issue and me looking bling bling with angled rims looking like a dog dragging it's *** across the ground.

I am think of going Koni Yellows for da rear... maybe suck up that snotty bounce. I don't want to spend alot of money but will need a decent camber kit as well. Here is a picture... I am swapping the rims on my car on the left with that of the ones on the right. Does it look like a good trade? And also last night I was feeling under the rear fender and they are lower than the front. There is maybe 1-2 inches now between the tire and wheel well. HOLY!!!

A friend said to measure the circumference of my tire and the other one. If they are close then there should be no prob.

Think I said enough?
