Say I were to perhaps put my 2.25" drop springs on *new* shocks/struts and run it without a camber kit (which I know is the right way to go). besides the shitty treadwear, is there a performance/appearance issue?

yeah, it will look ghetto. get yourself prelude arms and it should fix the problem.

As far as the appearence is concerned your tires would be at a slant like this

Would that cause your ball joints or cv joints wear faster with that much or lower ?? without the prelude arms
im on a 2.25 and with tokico shocks and you can barely see the camber difference, i can tell that i have a little positive but i will be auto crossing anyways so I want it like that.
Camber doesn't really kill tires, toe does.
Alex
yeah but with camber your tires wont hit the ground 100%...
what kind of springs are you geting and what kind of shocks.....and also wut rims and tires you have
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
Do it right and get a camber kit. If you can't afford a camber kit, then you can't afford to keep buying new tires either. Save up and do it all at the same time.

I know my 1.5 inch drop on my 3g got me to -1.5 which was fine. I don't think you want more than 1.5-2 on a double wishbone car (vs. a mac strut car which likes more static negative since you develop positive camber as the suspension compresses).
Alex
true... i have mine lowered 2.25... it gets hardcore traction in turns
