Default question for people with lowered suspension

how many miles does your tires last? I checked my rear tires tonight and the inside was completely eaten away down to the threads. Ive had the tires since december, when I got them they had about 60-70% left, car had about 5K on the odometer. And I put the eibach springs on in March, car had about 8-9K miles on it. And today at 11,500 miles the tires are gone. Fronts on fine but just the rear. I didnt get an alignment job with the suspension which probably added to it but I didnt expect it to wear out that much even with out an alignment job.

I would get an alignmenty to see what the settings are, the toe will probably have to be adjusted which would cause the wear and you will know where your camber is at and decide if you need camber arms.

yeah, it's the negative camber that's eating your tires bro. they can bring it to within reasonable settings without new arms. i got mine down to around -2.0 and the tires are fine with about 5k driven on the eibachs. unfortunetly i can't say the same for the underside of my car
