What is the best chamber kit

I want to lower my Evo but i dont want to deal with the negative chamber. I know that you can adjust it on your own which we did to our evo 8, but we cant get back to 0 degrees. What is the best chamber kit to put on it. I want absolutly 0 chamber. tires are way to expensive lol.

I don't think you understand how camber works and why you need it. 0 camber will handle like poop. And every turn you take can rollover the tire on the outside.

I suggest reading up on camber. -1 to -2 will not damage tires as much as you think.

I run 1.8 up front street driving. I don't notice any added inner tire wear at all. Not like my old Integra.

Thanks. I actually do no how chamber works very well. I have delt with it on past cars of mine that i had as projects. This is my first awd vehicle, and wasnt quite sure which was the best kit, or if I should make the adjustments with what i have on the vehicle already. And also what a good setting is. The best chamber adjusment depends on what the vehcle is used for. Mine is my daily driver and just basically want to drop it to get rid of fender space. But would enjoy to keep the tires in good condition for as long as i can. my tires cost two grand, and that doesnt just roll right out of the pocket. thank you thoughl

with all due respect, if you really knew how CAMBER works, youd at least be able to spell it right...

I'm running factory camber settings (stock suspension/tires/rims) and my tires have more outside wear than it is inside.

your not going to get any help fighting back with them. Also negative camber is good 1 to 2 like said before. Also depending on how much u lower sometimes you need negative camber so you dont rub dont forget that

Thanks, i just get pretty upset when people want to be a smart ***. Im in Iraq right now so if i was home, i would mess with it and figure it out, but my wife is driving the car so im trying to figure out what worked on other people's evo's. So that i can have someone do it. The city im from i dont trust the shops because they are out to just get military's money and not do the job to standard. So im trying to research it and have my friend make the adjustments.

After lowering your car 4-wheel alignment is recommended. You can certainly run some mild negative camber on both the front and rear wheels without signifcant tire wear, provided you adjust toe at "0"
