When was I complaining?? I am NOT complaining about anything!!! I have a friend who has an EVO and is on her 4th set of tires in about 38k miles, so no complaints from me!

 

I lowered my car on JIC coils and had -4 in the rear (too low). The JIC arms did dick all for positive adjustment. And this was in conjuction with their traction rods. I sent the rods back for a credit. The guys at JIC told me to cut an inch off the arm to get positive adjustment. I had already thought of it, but felt for the price it should'nt need modification. Hotchkis should have rods available now that will do 3 degrees positive, and 3 degrees negative adjustment. After raising the car a bit, I was able to dial the camber and toe back in.

 

i think we interpreted as you saying that you were blaming the rear camber for your wear, especially when you said that they were worn horribly. but in reality, the stock potenzas already suck at tire wear, and you still got 27k miles out of them with 10 auto-x events. my potenzas lasted 12-13k.

anywho, judging from what you describe, your wear is normal. any tire with 27k miles with negative camber will wear the tires down moreso on the inside. it is a given. with your drop, you probably have around -1.3 to -1.5* of camber if you had it aligned after the drop. i dont think it is out of the ordinary. i just woulda thought they wouldnt have lasted that long honestly.



plus, i would go with the battleversion camber arms. they offer the use of spherical bearings like the jic's,spc uses rubber bushings if im not mistaken. at a fraction of the cost of jic's and stillen, i would sport the battleversion rods anyday.

 

Need some help guys. I will be lowering my Z w/nismo s-tune .8" and I will add 20's
20x10 rear will I need the SPC kit?

 

Probobly not. Every car is different, but I doubt with that subtle drop that you would need aftermarket camber/traction rods to adjust. Just take it to a good alignment guy, because there is a small amount of adjustment designed into the stock rear suspenion.

 

Hey Alberto,

Is that 13 sec quarter on street rubber?
