thats not an excuse really. i have a friend who does fender rolling and nothing like that happens even with pulling. the point where the bumper meets the body is horrible as evident in the 2nd pic, i hope that job was free.

please post the shop so we know who to avoid.

Yes it is, you just have to ask for it.

Looking at alignment specs I would bet you have about a 1.25 inch front drop and slightly more in the rear.

Front camber arms are needed if you want to change front camber. I would leave it for better handling but that is why I own my Z. The rear needs a simple set of camber arms and toe bolts to get it back to spec. It is your rear toe that is killing tires.

so the rear is making my front tires show steel after 5 months?
ive had the car about a year now and ive put two new sets on and one now that had about 80% tread.
my back tires really have no wear on them. Its still the same set that's been on there since I put on my new wheels.
If you have any suggestions for cmber arms for the front that would be great.
and thank you for all the help. its much appreciated.
