Be very careful when choosing a camber kit. There are some fairly well known problems overseas with some of there designs. Check out Honda-tech/some of the previous posts here for additional research.

I know a fair few people who have negative camber that dont run kits. What sort of camber and more importantly toe are you running?

i dont really know much about camber and the kits etc.

when you say they dont run kits, doesnt it wear out inside of the tyre quicker. thats my main problem
what do you mean by sort of camber and toe?

(sorry to ask all these but im a NOOB)

Camber is not the main contributor of wear - it is more in the toe alignment. Since you lowered the car have you had a full wheel alignment? If so, did they adjust your toe?

Here is a link for you to catch up on the basics:

There is "one" thing that contributes to tire wear. A crappy wheel alignment fullstop is what causes it.

Camber tends to wear the inside of the tyres out, toe all the tyre surface.

Off camber will also make the car handle like poo, but having lowered the car 2.5/2 inchs, you have much bigger issues then off camber my friend. Have at look at your whole shock/spring setup, camber, toe, caster and everything.
