I have a prokit, put new tires on and have about 15,000 on the new tires with the kit and an alignment with the new tires....
today i noticed the innr edge of my tires are really worn !! almost wates.....
did I just get a bad alingment or does everyone else have a similar result from the lowering..
I would rotate like a **** but can't have 285's on the back <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
help me out

The stock suspension has plenty of room to adjust.
Slightly negative camber (what you have) makes the car handle better, but can wear the inner edges of the tires.
Go have it checked, you want about 0 to -.5 degree max.

I lowered my car with an H&R Stage 2 spring kit (1.25 inches...roughly) and I had 1.5 degrees of negative camber (on the alignment rack) but after setting castor at 4.5 degrees I ran out of adjustment at 1.3 degrees of negative camber. My car is a 2002 Z-28 (I think thay are roughly the same)...just my experience.

What tires are you on?
I have lowered mine, and run -1.4/+4.5/0 and have no increased wear on the tires. They get rotated front to back about twice a month..
If you aren't racing the car, and just want a little extra for the street, I'd stick with -.5

I gotta get it aligned but i went though a set of tires and noticed it was wearing on the outside and i drive it moderately 100% street but do take turns fast when i can. To my understanding? there is no alignment to be set on a camaro? because it's a solid axle? if the panhard, lca, and tq arm is stock right?
