I wanted to know what the best way to take care of Camber on our cars.... My current tires are wearing poorly due to bad camber an no alignment.
If i get new tires, how can i assure they will wear out evenly? My first step would be to get them mounted and balanced, then have the car aligned. But wanted to know if you guys would recommend what this guy used on his mr2: CRASHBOLTS If you cant find them on the link here what they look like:   They are thinner than the factory Shock connecting Bolts which give you some play on the knuckle. Will these help adjust for camber? or do i have to get a camber kit? Any help would be greatly appreciated... whenever i get the money, i want to get new tires and i want to avoid irregular wear from my car being lowered. thanks!

You'll still need a full alignment job regardless of getting crash bolts or camber bolts (the ones with a little bulge). Messing with camber throws off your toe alignment which causes far more wear and tear on your tires than camber.
