Whats the front drop on those? About 2"? In a B14 with a 2" drop you probably will have 2-3 degrees of negative camber. Have you got an alignment yet? The shop will tell you what it is after the drop. You need to get an alignment anyways or you will eat up tires like mad becuase dropping your car also affects toe. Out of spec toe will really destroy tires.

I guess I should have been more clear. Yes, it will affect camber.

yes it effects the camber. my sportlines altered camber too. luckily the camber wear wasnt that bad until the rest of the tread was gone as well.

The camber will change... how much?... who knows, you will have to have it checked. Remember that camber can affect tire wear... if excessive in either direction.
