Has anyone ever tried anything like this? Seems like its a pretty good idea. Not sure if its worth $300+. I guess it could be if you're running expensive tires that you can't rotate around. It seems like it'd fix my problem..My front tires only have ~20k on them and the insides are destroyed almost to the wires.

i dont have a problem with the insides, factory camber is under 1 degeree in the front, i do have a problem with the outsides from autocrossing, but this is fixed with a rotate to the rear which have the problem in the inside

ground control has them for a little cheaper i think, i would only get camber plates if you plan on club racing, factory camber is good for autox unless your hadcore

I'm just a spirited driver. My front tires would probably have another 5-8k miles on them if my insides weren't worn so bad.

might want to check toe angles. That kills tires faster than camber. If you have lowered the car, both will be off. In this case, camber plates will help get you back into -1 degree range. Set camber first, then toe. "only 20k miles" on the fronts?? I'm lucky to get more than 9k with just street driving. I can kill a set in 600 miles at the track..

The car is as stock non-sport height. As far as i knew, front camber wasn't adjustable but i'll try having the toe adjusted when I get my new rims/tires/ball joint/front struts on. And I'm not really sure how you only get 9k miles out of tires. Most tires have a warranty of 20-30k miles. I don't think the track has much to do with it because its just that...the track.
