that has nothing to do with the coilovers. i'm pretty sure you don't control the camber by the coilovers. and chi never had a problem with it.

Coilovers adjust ride height and suspension arm angles. As with most cars, as the suspension compresses the wheels camber in. So in theory as you adjust height you adjust camber. Lower=more camber

while the coilovers themselves obviously dont change the camber of the car, unless we did have camber adjustments on the stance coils, the height at which they are set will change the geometry of the suspension. the lower you make the car and not change the STOCK specs the more camber the car will have. riding around on one side of the tire for an extended period of time will cause the tire to wear irregularly. also has alot to do with the size of the wheel and tire on the car. im not saying there was anything wrong with the coilovers that were at one point on your car, i was just trying to help him figure out what was causing the tire wear.

He told me he did not change the height of the coilover when he bought them. assuming this, and knowing that you had the coilovers set fairly low, which would in turn cause negative camber on the stock camber components. I made the assumption that the tire wear COULD HAVE been caused by the height at which the coils were set. I am not calling myself a know-it-all by any means, this is all i know at this point in time and i simply made an educated guess. Sorry if i offended you.
