ive been told going over 3 degrees will really wear your tires fast, so i have mine at 3 degrees in the rear and .5 in the front. and yes there is definitely no need for a camber kit, i have a 2.5 inch drop and i think the stock adjustments could go up to 4 or more degrees, however the lower you go the more camber you can get. at 3.5 degrees its not going to be all that noticeable like it is in the example you showed above, the car in that picture probably has 6 or more degrees on camber

but I would recommend the least negative camber as possible for numbers of reasons. one of them you should really keep in mind, tire wear. My rears are only about 4 months old and the inside is done. (I don't drive aggressively at all)

I don't have any right now. I could possibly snap one tomorrow.
Damn i really dont like the sound of that lol...

f@#k....i like ur camber tho its just right...if not a little bit more.

I run -3.3, and its very visible to me...

I can usually guesstimate camber give or take a degree if its on a flat surface.

i dont have a rear view like requested before so this is the best i could find. just notice the slight difference between the angle of the BMW tires (which has 0 camber) and my tires. its more noticeable from a rear view

Hmmm that looks slightly less agresive than -3.5

I just dont know if i have the kind of budget to be changing tires every 1,000 miles...

Agreed. That car needs overfenders, less camber, and some correctly sized tires (275's?).

Sorry, I should had been more clear.
What I was trying to say was that we can't really tell different from -3.5 and -3.7.
Yes, -3.5 is very visible but not close to what is shown in the pic above.
