Camber Adjustment

I have 2k with an Eibach prokit/KYB-GR2's. I was under my car changin my oil the other night and noticed that my front tires were worn heavily on the inside. I got my suspension installed right after the last tire rotation (about 6k miles ago), and didn't get an alignment kit due to the general consensus not to on the org. Since I will be getting my tires rotated soon (probably buying two new tires), my question is should I buy an alignment kit or will a basic alignment fix my problem. Your input is appreciated as always.

If you don't wanna be running on steel belts every 10k miles, get the camber kit

That's weird because I didn't have uneven treadwear problems when I had my Eibachs.

5thgen2nr or any other .Orger

I remember reading on the .Org that if you don't drop the front suspension more than 2", there is no need for a Camber kit, is that true?

Maybe....eibachs only drop 1.2" front and 1" rear....it's possible, but I only have a 1.7" drop in the front and I need new tires every 10k-12k miles.
