Default s2000 camber kit?

I have 18" on my S...the tires are starting to wear unevenly...to be specific, inside half of the tires on all 4 of them. Do i need a camber kit to stop this wear? or is this something else? Alignment is straight with no pull on either way.

S camber is adjustable without needing a "camber kit".

Yes, we have adjustable camber already stock. But the range is limited. The lower the car is the less range you have.

The S comes with negative camber from the factory - the fact that you have 18s is no consequence, even with stock rims, you will get uneven wear - more on the insides. Normally when you lower your car you would get an aligment - depending on the car and how low you went - you may be able to get back to the stock alignment - but not always. If you cant, then you may consider an aftermarket camber kit.

The only way to really stop the uneven wear would be to get rid of the negative camber on the rear - but id never want to drive the S without it.

Damn! I was hoping to see a "camperized" S2000. That would have been awesome to go offroad and into the wilderness with one of those. To see one with a porta-potty, propane stove and fridge would be priceless!
