Does your tyres wear equally? Or the interior faces wear faster?

function of the camber kits are to make it so you don't rub as much, especially if you want to run wide wheels.
not absolutely necessary to run camber kits. I believe your inner tires do wear out faster but if you have correct alignment and your toe is corrected, your tires should be fine.

Camber kits are useful to aid with alignment once lowered to prevent premature tire wear. Some minor adjustments can be made to the stock suspension depending on how low you are, to bring camber back into spec. Should necessary adjustments exceed the capabilities of the stock suspension, kits can be used to dial it back in to factory specs. Toe is another aspect of the suspension that is modified when a car is lowered.

On the flip side, as mentioned above, for anyone not too worried about abnormal or premature tire wear, camber kits are useful when really lowering your car to help tuck wheels, fit bigger wheels or even for that stance, vip look.
