Usually a 2" drop or less will keep your camber wear down to a minimum.
I'd still get a camber kit if I were you, but you should get many miles out of your tires before wear starts showing.

yep, That'll work perfect!
Just remember....As soon as you get your camber kit installed....GET AN Alignment ASAP!!!
If you set a camber kit and drive with it without an alignment....It'll feel like your driving on ice skates...Pigion Toe'd

check the alignment shop sticky, alot of places will brush you off as soon as they see your car is lowered. I called around when my crx was done and had to go to st.pete to get someone ( I live in riverview), but this was years ago, I am due soon so I'll be having the same headache. depending on the car the camber kit you have may be ok or it may not. when my crx was dropped 2" it was 3 degrees off.

it will most likely be off about 2degrees in camber in the front. and your toe will be off really bad also. i would recommend a camber kit and an alignment right away. i had to purchase new tires about every other month, due to how i drive and how bad it was off.

i drove my car for 6 years with a 2 inch drop and had very minor tire wear. i purchased the ingalls camber kit for mine and took it to Fred Cox automotive on florida ave. they are the best place for lowered hondas, they did the camber and toe for me and everything is perfect.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

Too much negative camber will cause uneven wear, but not as much or as quickly as toe in/out.
If you want a quick fix until you can get a proper alignment, let me know and I'll write up & PM instructions for getting your toe as close to 0˚ as possible with an 18" ruler and measuring tape.
