i don't think you need a camber kit. When i was dropped on megans i got pretty close to stock specs. unless your trying to go for more camber

If I can get my way, Us SC owners may get to have adjustable rear camber arms...check out my thread about "EAU ROUGE".

Let's see a picture of that stance.

I doubt that it would wear your tires out "hela quik," but that also depends on other factors such as tire size, toe, etc.

dont we have pretty wide range of adjustment on the factory camber settings? I dont recall needing an camber kit when i dumped my last SC on coilovers. I think the tech was able to get it to less than -1 degree of camber

You should definitely be able to get it aligned to non-tire shredding spec unless you are dumped on the ground. Besides, only fixing camber won't keep your tires alive without having the toe corrected as well.
