Are you talking about the Front or Rear ??

With air ride, there is no camber adjustment in rear or needed but in front you will end up with posetive camber then you need to add camber plates to correct your camber !!!

Get canber plates for the front. Camber shims for the back. Yes the tires will wear very fast. I can attest to that.

JDMjim - first off you have one sick sick sick ride - are you using cusco or otg?

My understanding was that the otg shims account for the toe in correction necessary to prolong the tread on cambered rears. I'm sure they still wear faster either way.

Camber is camber. Tires will wear whether or not the toe is corrected. Best bet is to use them when going to and from shows.

I just have OTG camber spacers for the rear. When I got an allignemnet, they told me that I was at -4 degrees camber. It could be the extensive drop that I have with my coilovers.
