Any problems with camber when lowering with H&R Race ?

I've always had problems with camber when lowering my previous cars (mostly Japanese) and would wear out the inside of the tires within a summer. I ordered a set of H&R race springs and was just wondering if the camber will be as bad and can the camber on the e90 be adjusted without having to resort to camber kits. Thanks

I'm not even aware of any camber kits available for the E90/92. People have gotten alignment OK w/o a camber kit after being lowered and slammed.

if you want to adjust it, you will need to get a camber kit

You dont need a camber kit. These cars' toe and camber can be adjusted on the stock suspension. My car was getting aligned one time and my mechanic told me my toe and camber was off. He simply adjusted it.

Most of the time when you lower a car, you will get negative camber...this is good for handling, but you'll get uneven tire wear...

Not sure about our cars, but my M3's camber can be adjusted with the stock top hat...
