When you bought your car you would have gone through several features of your car. Features that affect the styling performance and the comfort levels of the car. But chances are you did not find out about the camber or how it affects your car ownership experience. Unless you are a die hard car enthusiast you will not know about a car's camber. And if you do hear about it you will not bother much, thinking it is one of those highly technical issues that should be best left to the car manufacturer to decide. Which actually is quite fine unless you want to make your car special.

Camber kits help you manage the angle your wheel makes with the ground when you view it from the front of your car. This angle can get impacted if you have used lowering springs to lower the suspension of your car. But if the angle at which the car tire meets the ground is not correct then there will be uneven wear and tear of the tire and the life of your car tire will go down. Since high performance cars often have very expensive tires and uneven wear and tear can be a very expensive problem to have.

It is particularly in performance cars ...
... that a slight negative camber is useful. The negative camber makes it easier to turn corners at high speeds. When the suspension of the car is lowered using lowering springs the handling of the car improves because the center of gravity is lower and the car becomes more stable. Also lowering the suspension causes a negative camber. However too negative a camber can cause uneven wear and tear of the tires. Therefore you should consult a professional tuner to tune the camber for you by using a camber kit. With proper tuning the car will handle in a nice and predictable manner.

For high performance cars stability and handling is very important otherwise they will be unreliable and dangerous. Therefore it is prudent to consider using camber kits to make sure you get precise handling and also protect the car's tires from undue damage.
