get some skunk2 tuner series kits. they are really good quality and won't break or wear out quickly. check out ebay for the best price, but a lot of places carry them

sounds to cheap to me... but typicaly you dont need a camber kit to save your tires. just get a alignment. the toe is what kills tires on the inside tread when ya lower the car. basicaly your dragain the tires sideways! spend that money on a alignment to get your toe all fixed... a good 4wheel alignment.

yeah, you don't need a camber kit. As long as the toe is set back to factory, you won't go through tires that fast. Camber will detract from tire life, but only a few hundred miles.

yeah, as long as the toe is set back to stock, you'll be fine... toe is adjustable on these cars from the factory, so you don't need any additional parts. Just go to an alignment shop and have them do it (just tell them not to worry about the camber)... It's usually something li.ke $40 or $50 for a 4-wheel alignment.
