Default Search Function not helping, need...




As you can see from the picture, I don't know anything about camber and so on. My front looks perfect but my rear (as you can see from the pics) are gone. Well I am going to get new tires but this time I want to avoid tire wear as much as possible. I search for camber kit and not sure which one to get. I found these on eBay and would like to hear what do you think. Also if you can recommend a kit for me. Thanks

how low are you dropped? and did you ever get an alignment after the drop? How crazy do you drive the car?

I lowered my car about 1.8 inches. I did got an alignment right after and the guy said it was fine. Maybe I should have went to a shop that do computer alignment. I don't go to the track or anything. Pretty much street and freeways. Once in a while I like to take the turns real hard.

I have about 10K miles on these. Look like I should get an alignment with the new tires and see what kit is suitable for me correct?

all dpends on what your alignment is at. if you a little maxed out on the camber and toe, see if you have enough adjustment left to lose a little camber and just get rid of toe in my opinion. From what i hear -1.5 camber front and rear will only get you about 10000 miles with some hard driving. so if you have no more adjustment l;eft then i suggest you buy new peices or deal with it like me. i only drive it in the summer so 10000 miles for me will be like 3-4 years.

Wow!! You lowered your Z 1.8 inches. Theres your problem. Im pretty sure you will need the camber kits. I am lowered 3/4 inch and that was just barely where they could still get the alignment into specs again. Anything over that and you most likely not going to get anywhere close to specs without the propper kits. BEN

With descriptive titles like that, it's no wonder searching doesn't help
