If you go and drive around with you're camber all screwed up, you're tires will not only wear out unevenly, they will also wear out very quickly.<p>i don't understand the whole camber thing. will i have a problem with that?
Yes. Make sure you get 4 camber bolts (one for each strut) and a 4-wheel alignment done AFTER you lower you're car.

Re: Im sooo confused
a) if 1 camber bolt doesn't work, add another to each strut.<p>b) Camber doesn't wear out tires that fast, unless its VERY overdone.

Re: Im sooo confused
There are bolts there already but they're not very good since they don't move as much. It's better to get the thinner bolts for more adjustability.<p>~A
