when I got my car it was lowered. then I raised it for a while and Finally lowered it again. I have prety bad negative camber in the rear (at least -1) and about -.25 to -.5 in the front. When I went to get an alignment, they told me I have to buy a camber kit. Is this true? Which one would you guys reccomend? Also Can I adjust camber in the front with my tein coilovers? Any help would be appreciated.

you can get hotchkis rear camber links

if you have tein ss-p then you can also adjust the front but the tech guy should have already known that.

-1 is nothing you dont need a camber kit. as long at you have a correct toe setting you will have no tire wear. take it to a shop that knows what they are doing and isnt trying to rape you.

well, I am getting more tire wear on the inner portion of the tire- maybe the camber is greater than -1.

The factory spec for rear camber is -1.18 degrees. If your wearing out the inner edge of the tires I suspect your car is... let me think.... toed out.

Toe does more damage to tires then camber.
