Default Camber kit necessary?

Hi guys,

2006 IS250
235/35/19 275/30/19
Fsport Suspension with eibach Spring.

Using csc5 tyres....


I m currently having front tire inner worn.... i knew its pretty normal..
My question is, if i add the camber kit, how much longer can my tyre last me?
Currently abt 20-25km i need to change my front...

If i add camber kit, will my tyre able to last at least 40km?
If not there isnt any point to add.??

Pls advise!

Yes it can help with your wear (which is a common problem). You can look at the SPC ball jonts of the new Megan A arms. It will give you positive camber which will potentially make your wheels hit your fender depending how low you are.

^There are just too many variable to accurately answer your question. But the SPC ball joint can add up to 1.5 degrees of positive camber helping remove negitive camber to your setup.

BTW, and bad toe alignment will kills tires faster than camber.

I agree with gville350. Your toe should be checked because that will eat tires faster than negative camber.
