Camber kits are used to reduce or increase camber on the wheels

well the benefits depends what ur going to use ur car for
show/ track / street
show, u want to go lower to u have to increase camber to fit the wheels under the gaurds
street, you wanna less camber so you get even tyre wear

=DDD

Camber is the angle that the wheel/tyre forms to the road surface when viewed from the front or rear of the car. See this pic:

"Camber Kits" refers to parts added to adjust this angle because there is no provision for adjustment with OEM parts. Some people will try and tell you that any amount of negative camber is bad and will destroy tyres and make your car into a dangerous and undrivable piece of machinery. They are wrong. Some amount of static (when the car is stationary and has no cornering loads on it) camber is essential to good handling and will have minimal effects on tyre wear.

Camber kits do however have some benefit in fine tuning the alignment to suit the performance you want but in general the amount of negative camber gained when lowering an EG or DC2 will be a good thing for handling unless the car is dumped.

seeing a car with shit loads of camber takes its 'i'm quick' rep away and pushes it into the 'i'm show' category IMO
