I just recently checked my tires after lowering my car again and I noticed terrible wear on the front edges. If I get a camber kit for the car will this solve my problem. The car is lwered about 4" so I dont think a regular allighnment will do the job. I remember seeing someone with a kit for sale a while ago. If anyone has one I would be interested. Thanks

yeah i need one too. i have pretty bad wear on mine. i'm gonna get a specialty products kit. the front is only $30 but the back is around $70 per side. and the front is adjustable -/+ 1.75 so i dont think it will fully correct yours. and i think the back is adjustable -/+ 2.75.

Damn is there any kit out there I can use. If my tires keep wearing like this I'll need a new set by the end of the month.

that kit wil definatly help. it wont fully correct it, but will make it managable.

So do I need a kit for the back too. The back tires dont seem to be wearing bad at all. When I was pricing kits it seemed like most places only sold a kit for the front. So is the rear kit even nessesary?

i dont think so. my back tires are fine, no uneven wear at all, but the front is pretty bad. i dont plan on gettin a back kit. and if there is just a little wear on yours, no use in paying $140 to fix that little problem that doesnt really matter anyway. ya know?

ingalls engineering makes a rear camber kit and front bolts that give you +- 1 deg camber adjustment..
you can purchase these at http://www.lightningmotorsports.com

I've also found kits that do front and rear for +- 3 deg for about $300.set, but I forget where and who..
check cattmanperformance.com.
I know he sells the front kits for 4th gens on his coilover setup.. maybe he can help you guys too.

$300! Damn i'm not trying to pay that much just for a camber set. I think I'll just buy a set from carparts.com, and make it work. I think there only like $30.

You can elongate one set of holes in the strut where it bolts to the steeting knuckle, so you can pull the top of the wheel out a little. If the bottom mounting holes in the strut have some clearance around the mounting bolts, you may just be able to loosen them a bit to make some camber change.
(Read this on the internet, so it must be true.)

This is a good way to ruin your struts and cause it to be permanently off-balance.

there ARE adjustable camber kits that are cheap, involving very similar concapet to what you just described.. it's actually the bolts themselves that are egg-shaped and slightly offset. sticking this bolt in the top bolt hole on the strut will let you get +-1 deg adjustment. These cost about $25 new, shipped..
