You need an alignment it sounds like. I don't think there's really a "camber kit" for our cars, unless you want to get components to get more negative camber. If you're thinking about a camber plate, I think the type of front suspension on these cars makes that impossible (it's not a strut, but a double A-arm, spindle with coil over shock setup)....where as the older Camaro's had struts.

Yeah, if your camber is so far off that you're chewing through tires that fast, an alignment should do the trick. If you're lowered so far and you never got an alignment, that's probably the problem right there....

BTW, depending on the condition of your car, you may also have to replace different things, such as bushings, etc....but all that's pretty cheap to do, and if it's a good alignment shop they should be able to tell if anything is worn.

Another FYI...the camber is adjusted by "sliding" the lower a-arm in and out within a slot in the K-member. If the car is SO low that you can't pull in the a-arm enough to get the required negative camber out, these slots can be elongated, to give you a little more room to work with.

it sounds like your riding on only the inside of the tire if they last only a month.. check out a shop - they can tell you exactly where your measurements are..and at least improve what you got now
