People who get camber kits either:

1. Want better handling characteristics, so they dial in a more aggressive custom alignment; ie. more negative camber in the front than the rear. Some even add to a stock suspension, for that same reason. Custom alignment to dial out some of the factory understeer. Reduces inside tire tread life. Frequent tire rotations suggested.

2. Want stock alignment specs so tires wear as if still running stock suspension.

3. Using a rim width and offset that forces one to need to run more negative camber.

4. Combination of 1 and 3.
