I would love to help but im not sure what youre asking. Are you asking if it will effect how fast the tire will last? Im assuming youre going to be lowering ur car and running aggressive wheels..

^+1, hard to understand what you're asking. As long as you get an alignment and your toe is in check, camber wear won't be that bad.

^ Uhhh, if you're only lowering with springs I don't think you'll have to worry about negative camber at all. You should still get an alignment to neutralize your toe though, that's what really chews up tires.

what tire size are you running? I honestly dont think youll need to run a camber kit.

Just get it then. It's not that expensive and you'll have the adjustability if you need it.

I think he wants that JDM camber yo. When you get your coils slam it and you'll get negative camber.

back to topic - I change my springs on coilovers and know I want put camber kit. The question is - do I need just lower arm or both lower and upper part? ( Im talking about rear cmber kit )

If you're getting Megan, upper and lower part.
If you're getting Figs, control arm alone will be enough to adjust camber. You can get one of the other linkages though for more adjustment.

I heard that upper arm is enough to make negative camber ( like old JDMIS250 IS https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...-part-out.html
)
Sorry but Im a little bit confused

Sorry for off topic, but I just want to know is toe arm is neccesary for a correct negative camber? Or just upper and lower arm? I dont want changing tyres every 3-4 months lol
