Default Question About Feathering

hey guys i spend the last 3 days reading all the problems, i have a question, if i was to get brand new suspension, coil overs and sway bars, would that help the feathering at all in the long run? like i wouldnt have to change tires at 20 000 KMs and so forth?

i kinda didnt quite understand what you said there? i know that the more aggresive the setup the more camber and tthe faster your tires wear. ( I had a M3 ) so theres nothing you can do to fix the feathering than???

yes i understand that but does it not still keep rubbing your tires down and you have to get new ones every 10 000 Miles? iv read that in 3 posts, so im asking if i could fix that so i dont have to change tires that often, especially when your buying expensive ones all the time...

If you have reviewed the most recent, say, 100 “feathering" posts, you know that uneven front tire wear is a compromise between superior handling and tire life. For handling, negative front camber is a must. The downside is short tire life.

Suspension alterations will change front-end alignment. The exact effect that this will have on tires is at best a guess.
