We're not running the camber kit, no more wear on the front tires than is typical for any Contour. Saying that, it wouldn't hurt to have a set installed while your doing the suspension, just added insurance that you will get a good alignment.
Although a camber kit isn't absolutly neeed sometimes it can't hurt, look on ebay, i got two camber kits (one for each front wheel) on Ebay shipped for a little less than $100. Cause the cost of a camber kit is less than the cost of one new tire.

No, you need two camber kits, one per wheel. That's why i looked on eBay becaud it saved me around $50, normally a camber kit is about $75.

svt4stv, what SVT Driver627 ment to say was, by his definition, one camber kit is all the parts necessary for one wheel. The way I think of a kit, which is probably the same way you do, is for both wheels. That being said, you only need one kit. Since I was bored tonight and feeling nice,here is a link for you.
