Anyone put on a camber kit after drop?

Went in for an alignment today, the service guy recommended I get a camber kit if I want my tires to last longer. So it looks like im holding off on that alignment until I decide whether a camber kit is worth the extra $ i'll fork out. Apparently the wheels are tilted inward which will lead to quicker wear on the inside tire tread. So far I have one quote for a kit and installation for $120. Plus the alignment will add another $50. Ugh... the price I pay for maintenance. Anyways im assuming the camber kits are generic? Or is there a quality difference? And will the difference it makes be worth spending for?

whaaaaaaaaaaa nobody has anything to say about this? btw the search function on the test site is quirky, it'll pull a FEW posts from like '00 '01 and hardly any relevance to my keywords.

The guy that installed my springs said that the Max's have a ton of camber unjustment built in. He said any shop that told me I needed a camber kit was justtrying to make money - he was right. First shop said they couldn't adjust it but would sell me a camber kit. Guess what? Second shop did it with no problem and with adjustment to spare. Go somewhere else.

no camber kit here. Alignment and tire wear is fine. Suspension setup is the same as yours.

I have Maxspeeds and KYB GR2s. Les schwab aligned my car after the install and said my camber was maxed out, but fine.
