The front suspension design does not camber as bad as the rear when lowered.

i have been lowered 2" all around for 10,000 miles and i have no problems whatsoever with my front tires getting camber wear. if it even did, it'd most likely be the toe since i have never gotten a alignment yet. from the naked eye, the front wheels sit very very very little negativealy*. but no sign of camber wear at all. i bought a front and rear camber kit set and i compared the front spc camber bolt to the stock ones, looks pretty much the same. so i just left the stock one on their.

save yourself the $20 for the front camber kit and spend it on something more important. definately think about investing into a rear camber kit.

thanks guys very helpful..

i figure that even tho u can see the little negative camber on the fronts.. the weight of the car probably flattens it out or sumthing... correct me if im wrong

Active camber gain in the front is minimal. If you want to autox/road race than a camber kit will allow MORE camber too. It would be nice to have because then you can play with the settings easier and it is only $20-30.

so everyones opinion is if your running 17"s with nice tires, it would be worth the rear kit, but won't really screw up the tires if you don't get the front kit? Right now my 15"s are on, I'm 2" dropped and can't really tell if its messed up my tires.
