Re: Front tires gone
First off, lets put stuff like this in the wheels, tires, and supsension. Not the JDM forum.
Now, as for your tire wear issue. Even though incorrect toe settings will tear a tire up quicker than bad camber, you still should get a camber kit. If someone tells you that you do not need one, walk the other way. Next, get it aligned to factory specs. Yes, factory specs. This will be fine for your application. |

Re: Front tires gone
Why would you NOT want factory specs if your alignment is messed up? =\

Re: Front tires gone
its not that i dont want factory specs, i was told when factory hieght and wheel size and suspension are changed, factory settings mean NADA.
A specialist will now have to get involved and correct the problem for a "bendover" fee |

Re: Front tires gone
Try to find a place thats worked on lowered cars or trucks, they might be a little more helpful. I have my alignments checked at a local stock car speed shop. My lowered 93 Accord is set to factory specs in the front and I average 35,000 miles on a set of Nitto NT450s. For comparison, my friends stock 94 accord got the same miles out of a set of the stock spec Dunlops
