Default camber kit?

i have eibach lowering springs on the car and the rear wheels are a little bit angled now. well i guess more than a little because im getting excessive tire wear on the inside tred. my question is would a camber kit solve this or are there better and/or cheaper ways to solve this?

Camber kit will stop any additional wear on the inside but you may need new tires, i put a full four wheel kit on my car and it has great traction now. Definitely worth it.

camber kit will fix it without a doubt. did you get an alignment right after you got it lowered though? if u didnt, that will kill you tires faster than negative camber/toe. ive been lowered for about 4 months, -1.7 on the rear and i have no tire wear issues yet.

if you are just on springs then get a standard alignment done and that will fix all you camber/toe issues. This should be done anytime the suspension is changed... camber kits will fix the problem but are more expensive and arent NEEDED.

for my car the camber was too far out of whack for a standard alignment to fix it, i had to get the camber kit. it depends on how much you have lowered/changed the suspension.

I take it you have coilovers and are dropped somewhere int he area of 3" or more... in that case then you you will need a camber kit. But for springs they arent needed.
