I am confused. What do you mean by they put it way negative? The whole point to having a camber kit is to correct your alignment after dropping it so your tires dont wear. Without the camber kit, your alignment will be out.

first off, its a camber kit not chamber. 
and 2nd people get a camber kit to fix negative camber from a drop, not to add negaive. with a camber kit people are adding positive camber to correct their alignment.

Well some of us did get camber adjustment devices to add negative, but we do it in the front. There's no way to get a whole lot out of the stock bolts without some help. As far as the back, when you lower it, you flatten the lower control arm out and it pushes the camber negative, you get the adjustable length upper arm to increase its length to push the top of the tire back upright so your camber is ok.

When people around here ask me about why my rear wheels are slanted out, they say "Why don't you get a chamber kit" (pronounced as in "torture chamber"). Then I laugh and point at them. Then I drive away with a 50% contact patch on my rear wheels. Oh the humanity.

It wil just save you money in the end getting a "camber" kit soon after slamming your car. You can basically see by just looking if you need one or not. I believe anything lower then 1.5 1.75 inches needs one. I got just about a 2 inch drop and my tires where starting to look like the DeLorean before it flew back in time. Just get one its cheap and will save your tires.
