Default camber kits?

So I have a 95 accord ex that's been lowered 1.5 - 2''. I have a problem with tire life and my tires kind of point inward. I've heard that if you buy a camber kit for your car that it gets rid of this problem. However, I don't wanna waste my money on buying one if it doesn't really fix the problem. If anyone has any information or input, it's greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Rear tire camber can be fixed with washers and somtimes a new bolt. As for the front (probably most of your tire wear) a camber kit is the only way to go. The tires inward are "negative camber" so gettin a camber kit will allign them to be straight. I don't know your knoledge on cars and if youd be able to put one in but id adivse you spend this money now instead of on tires.

I have the same car, lowered with Neuspeed sport springs(same height as yours). Installed camber kit to the front and washers to the back, but it's still negative, it did gave me a little less camber after it was installed. So my tires still wear more inside and i'm actually about to buy new set of tires.

You might want to look into getting an SPC ball joint, not really sure if that would correct the problem but just do a research before you spend your money.
