Default Camber Kits

Do we need to get camber kits if we lower our cars? Is there uneven tire wear?

S2000s have adjustable caster and camber from the factory.

I am not sure how much adjustability there is in the camber when lowered, but it will depend on how much you lower it. I lowered mine about 1" with JIC coilovers, and I was able to adjust my camber to -1.0 at all 4 corners. The wear due to camber wasn't very bad at -1 degree. However, I did have my tires flipped over on the wheels and rotated to even out the wear.

If you need more camber due to different wheel offsets and lowering, then you can get GOBS of negative camber from the OEM adjustments.

Uneven tire wear happens on this car with the stock alignment and stock wheels and tires already. Lowering the car and getting it re-aligned to stock specs isn't going to affect that. There is plenty of adjustment available in the stock suspension without resorting to bandaids like camber plates and the like.
