So I went on a cruise this morning with a few other Zs and one was lowered on swifts without any other suspension mods and his negative camber looked a bit extreme. He's not slammed or anything so I am wondering how much would it affect my camber if I installed just springs and lowered just an inch or 3/4 or an inch? I am worried significantly increased neg camber will cause my tires to wear out rapidly on the inside.

Keep in mind even with a mild drop, camber still needs to be adjusted and the car needs to be aligned. It is possible the owner installed the parts and never got an alignment. Any change in suspension heigh requires an alignment.
