"davidv" if by swap u mean rotate from left to right then No....

"AznSky" Unfortunatley I do not have an exact mileage since these have been used for about 3 summers.. And they were also on my '06.... My best estimate is 10k- 13k miles. Yet up until I lowered it they did not have any abnormal wear... Which would have been about 2500 miles ago.

Looks like I will be taking this to firestone this coming week.....

the #'s on your spec sheet look good. I would be curious to see a spec sheet now and pictures from what the tires looked like before the original alignment.

sektor 11... I am going for another alignment next week..... unfortunately I do not have a pic of before.... but I can tell you they were worn like the front tires with a little less tread on them ( i.e. because they are the rears and they went through a few weeks with F/I )

post up your alignment specs next week when you get them! You've got me curious as to what the diagnosis is going to be.

wait, i'm curious why you're getting an alignment again? Didn't the previous one already show OK specs?

It must be something else....

^^If you have any ideas I'm more than open to listening.... I waited for my springs to settle and got the alignment... and as you can see in the pics the tires are def. worn on the inside!!....

Just a quick FYI, running negative camber -1 to around -2.5 really doesn't eat the tires up unless your spinning them all the time. Toe is what is killing the tires, toe goes out all the time on the Z.

If your running camber arms, get a lockout kit from SPL, it will help keep the toe setting from going out.

The camber kit was probably installed wrong , please post a pic of your camber arms installed on your car. We really need to see the inboard mounting bolts for your camber arms.
