Did you look at this? It should've helped you FAQ's are your friend.

Finally, a camber kit guide....

The final answer is NO CAMBER KIT. ****ing Duh.

Your gonna need a camber kit if you don't want to be eating up the inside of your tire. Your suspension already has negative camber as a factory setting so any lowering is gonna make tire wear even worse. It should be Specialty Products 67135, that one has a +-1.5 degrees, but you should check your alignment after you install your spring/shock set-up and see exactly how much adjustment you need. You may need two different ones to get it the same on both sides.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. Stop posting. Research toe vs camber on tire wear.

I think you are the one who needs to do some research. Are you saying negative(or positive) camber doesn't cause uneven tire wear?

It's not the main cause. I have -2.5 camber and it does slightly do more wear but nothing insane.

On the prelude I had -1.5 and it wore evenly. It's the toe not being set that causeing major wear.

My toe was always zero'd off and I have no inner tire wear issues on the prelude.

Exactly. I also have -1.5º all the way around. No uneven tire wear. As I said, research more and post less.

Whats your guys opinion on the stock prelude suspension. because I bought mine already lowered with this whole setup and before I dump another couple hundred I wanted to see what you guys thought is it kinda stiff how does it take corners. let me know thanks.
