Hello, tire feathering is generally caused by toe misalignment.

im not exactly sure what toe misalignment is, but i get my car aligned on a regular basis, but ever since i dropped my car you can visable see that the front tires aren`t perfectly staright... i was told that a front camber kit would fix that problem... is taht right?

Here is a link to some very mice and inezpensive adjustableupper controll arms (front camber kits) These should help fix your uneven tire wear........

In think you are using the terminology "feathering" wrong here, you mean uneven tire wear.....

If they would have been available when I was buying mine I would have gotten those or the cusco ones.

thanks...im dont know too much about camber...but im lowered on tanabe gf210's with 19x8.5/9.5. Im getting some front tire wear on the inside on one side. So im hoping cusco's .5 positive adjustable range is enough to get it back to stock specs.

From what I heard those are the best out there.
However, they don't really make them in mass anymore.
I have heard (read in a thread) that they'll make
them for you (special order type of deal), but it takes
some months to get them.
