If so, how are your tires holding up?

I'm running sportlines (1.4" drop) w/o a camber kit. My front and back toe is 0, my front camber is 0, but my back camber is 2.8 degrees. I rotate my tires every oil change and haven't run into any problems.

I got a ridiculous deal on a set of general UHP's so I'm not too worried about ruining the tires. But if I had some serious tires (such as Michelin's PS2's or something along those lines) I would invest in a camber kit.

With a 2"+ drop you will no doubt NEED a camber kit unless you buy new tires every six months lol.

camber really doesnt kill tires unless its at an extreme. like said before toe will quickly ruin tires. get a good alignment after it settles a bit and rotate tires like usual and you wont have any problems.

but an aggressive camber more than -3* can have negative effects in handling and performance depending on the use of the car
