Question my lowered civic

Can somebody please help? i bought my car about 3 months ago. the car was already lowered about 2 inches. spring were NOT replaced with lowering springs. they cut the stock springs. Feel is great but tires wear from new to worn out (showing metal) from negative camber in about 5000 miles. What special parts do i need? Can I shim? $$$ is kinda tight. if i can shim some how-to help would be appreciated. Thanks

Get ya a camber kit off ebay. The shims seemed less reliable to me because I thought it would weaken the strength of the stock bolts by using less thred, so I went with the kit. Yeah it cost a lot more than some washers but you get what you pay for. I had the same problem and installed my kit last weekend and my camber is now zero degrees.
Peace,
Nosaj

Cutting the springs is totally stupid and unsafe.

If you can save up from some replacements.

As far as a camber kit up front, the easiest to install yourself, is the Skunk2 kit which would run you around 190$

I agree with him. Cut springs are very stupid. I have heard of idiots who cut their springs and hit a hard bump and the spring and all ripped through the hood. You might want to replace those asap.
