Holy h$%&!

Damn man I may need to get new tires sometime soon if I dont get my camber fixed. I didnt think it was gonna wear down that fast! I felt my tire just bc i was curious and i have a bald line going around the inside of the tire! Im gonna order a camber kit this thursday if I can. Ive only had my car lowered for like less than 2 months I think and its already worn that much! Is this normal?

Depends on how bad your camber is you also may have some toe in or out. But ya tires wear quick with bad camber.

i knew they wore fast but i thought it would take like 4 months for it to get this bad. I have some pretty bad camber, it wasnt so bad when i first lowered it, but once the springs settled the wheels starting bowing in. Im not even sure how much I lowered it, theyre all slightly different too (didnt go back and adjust em after putting em on lol). Plus I cant find my wrenches.

the joys of adjustable suspension.... thank god for lowering springs :) lol
but i kinda wouldnt mind adjustables cuz then i can raise it in winter

your toe tends to have more to do with tire wear the camber actually... with both yeah its worse... but if your toe is right camber won't be as much of an issue

Yuh. Toe eats tires like crazy.

Get an alignment now.. When I first dropped my car, I went through a set of Kumhos in about 5,000km (2 and a half months) :(

Don't bother getting an alignment or toe adjustment until you readjust the springs. I know this because I was like that when I first had my springs put on. Yes, I was ripped off, but at least they welded my strut fork back together in the rear. Anyway, I tried to get my toe/alignment done 3 times before I realized the springs were at all different heights. Find your wrenches or go get some. I would be willing to bet that you could take apart an oil filter wrench and use it the same way. Also, your upper ball joints might be sandwiched causing serious negative camber.

you can adjust the back camber by putting washers in between the upper control arm "dog bone" mount and the frame. theres two bolts holding it on. remove it and space it out with 1 or 2 washers depending on how bad your camber is.

they shouldn't wear that bad.. it sounds likeyou may have a toe problem. If you are getting the car aligned, align it with your current ride height becuase if you lift it back up, align it, then lower it, you'll have the same problems most likely.

Here is a how-to on the rear camber fix with bolts

when i lowered my car i had no problem with toe or camber. and im dropped 2 1/2. :)

you have a problem you're just not aware of it. you have a camber problem. the suspension is designed to have negative camber when its compressed so the car is stable over bumps. when you lower the car is like compressing the suspension and you will have more negative camber.

i have the same problem with mine..ive had about 5 different sets of wheels in one year

who makes camber kits for 4th gens?

dropped 1.8 inches and i have a camber problem too and i'm not afraid to admit it! :lol2: and i'm too cheap to buy a camber kit right now as well

Im not allowed to say H***? Thats wierd, sorry to whoever edited it...

not in title but you can say fuck hell shit in here. hehe

oh ok thats cool then lol. Fuck! <~(just because I can)

Is the rear negative camber the reason it's so scary at high speed and not just cuz I'm riding on 9lb. 14s? I'm going to add washers to the rear this weekend and see if it makes any difference. My toe is already corrected. I use adjustable springs but I'm always low...

Good News!
My friend is selling me his brand new camber kit for $30! He decided not to use it bc his camber isnt that bad so hes selling it to me. All 4 of my tires are fucked. 3 are worn down to flatness and the 1 that isnt has the wires sticking out on the outside of the tire at this one point. I guess the next thing Im gonna get for my baby after the camber kit and front end alignment is wheels and tires. I want Rota Slipstreams but I dont know which tires I want yet. I want something that will do good in the snow but something thats also a great street tire too. What you think I should go with?

get camber...camber kit

cooper zeon don't seem bad, there frugal to.

BTW Im gonna get 15" Slipstreams and I want 205/55 size tires. I dont really want to spend over $100 on each tire either. Are falken Azenis or Nitto NT555's good in the snow? And where would the best place to get tires be overall (prices and trust worthy).

those tires suck major ass in the snow. If you have to drive in winter conditions, get some normal ass radial tires. drag radials or azenis are not wet tires whatsoever. they're made for dry pavement only.

what should i get that are good for snow then? I want them to be good street tires also. Or i could alwyas get snow tire chains.

Dude, get winter tires and summer tires. There's no tire that is good in both the winter and the summer.

All seasons kinda suck in both conditions. Performance tires totally suck in the winter, and winter tires suck in the summer.

Don't cheap out on tires man, its the most fuggin important thing on your car. Look at Azenis, look how much rubber goes on the road.. Think about how scary those things would be in the winter. Same with all the performance tires. For winter, you need something really chunky with big gaps in the chunks. For summer, you want something with lots of rubber on the road.

Get both. IF you have you justify it, look at it like this... If you have summer tires AND winter tires, you're going to have to buy two sets when you need them, but theoretically they'll both last twice as long as if they were your only tire.

Or you can just get something like a Dunlop High Performance All Season... I had them and they worked great for both winter and summer, pavement and dirt/gravel... pretty cheap too. But if you're going to have 2 sets of rims then maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to get 2 sets of tires.

Well one this is, i was thinking about getting 2 really light like 15"s with like some g forces after winter to just use when going out on friday and saturday nights or for when i go to the track. So maybe ill just get some good all season tires like those dunlops u mentioned. But Im gonna need them soon though. These tires are fucked. Ill probably be able to order the wheels nxt paycheck and then tires the paycheck after that. I really dont want these steelies anymore.

God News! I found my coilover wrenches, they were hidden under my spare tire. I also bought the camber kit for $30 and its pretty nice. Hopefully Ill be able to put it on this weekend or my next day off next week.
