Camber questions

Right some more questions, god i hate when i find problems as it just means, im gona be down money for the next while. knew the camber was off but when changing the rear brakes i noticed the inner tyre of one side has really bad internal wear and the other was still ok.
when i changed my front tyres this time last year, they were wore away completely on the inner side of the tyre on both sides. (still not showing major wear due to my mileage)
My cally is lowered 60mm and running 18s. question is, even if i was to get a camber kit, its not gona completely sort the problem at that much drop is it?
and as i only do roughly 3k miles a year, is it a really worthwhile as the kits are not the cheapest

ps i know fatz has done a how to but my drop is a lot more than on the example, plus i reckon i wouldnt be able to manage it.

i heard its better to have some more toe in when running high camber for tread life :/

i have around 4mm toe in and 3 degrees camber at the rear and my tread wears ok :/

get the camber kit of <a href="http://www.cav16.co.uk" target="_blank">www.cav16.co.uk</a>

it is the only way to get the back inline unless you want to go brutal on the rears like fatz

get two 'kits', for both the inner and outer bushes on the rear wishbones..

or try getting a k-mac rear kit, theirs seems a lot better than other kits i've seen.. i have the powerflex eccentric bushes, i had to make a special tool in order to actually set it up..

and as i said, try running big toe in on the rears(camber kits also affect rear toe so you can adjust it too..). i heard it helps when running high camber..
