thats nothing. camber on my Kouki is 1.2 from factory and 2 since i lowered it and i never saw any tire wear in 25k. if anything this will improve tire contact while cornering.

i don't know how the hell you got away with that, i had a prelude dropped 2.5" and i changed tires 3 times in 2 and a half years, then when i got my EK civic, dropped on tein SS's turned all the way down the camber was silly, had to get camber kits on both cars cuz it wasn't worht the money i spent on tires on the prelude
