goldlines with no camber kit

hey who here has goldlines with no camber kit??
cuz i'm getting my goldlines put on saturday but I really don't want to get a camber if I don't need it so I was checkin to see how some people with goldlines are doing..are your tires showing like obvious wear...
All I'm probably going to get is an alignment..

I use to have H&R springs with no camber kit, and you couldn't tell the camber was off. Never really wore the tires that bad at all. Not till I got coilover and did a 4 inch drop did my tires wear really fast.

Get the alignment first. The technician there should be able to give you a suggestion of whether you are close to stock tolerance settings or not.

get an alignment first? if the camber is off, your going to have to pay for alignment again.. why would you want to do that?

yeah the point of the alignment is to correct the camber if you have a camber kit installed...

i forget who said it but someone did earlier, more than 2"... yes, less than 2"... no. Most people suggest if your going to drop your car (with stock struts) do it NO MORE than 2" but preferably 1.75". that way, you get no uneven wear hence no need for camber kit.

like i said before.. you will need a camber kit. by eyeing it you can see that the rear tires are about -2 to -3 degrees. however, you won't need a camber kit in the front. when i got my alignment, my front tires were at -1 degrees each but a toe in adjustment will offset the negative camber.
