weird outer tire wear. why is it doing this. *pics*
i'm running on k-crap coilovers and don't know how much neg camber its set at right now...prob greater than -1.5. no, i didn't get it professionally aligned b/c if i was too, i would go w/ the lifetime alignment which i can't afford right now cause i have at least a billion other things that i need to get and do. i just tried to align it close to center as i could get it.
before i took these pics, i rotated the tires about 1500-2000 miles ago.
its worn down like hell and soooo quick. i haven't auto-crossed or anything since i rotated them. but why are there excessive outer wear? could it be the toe thats off? one of the control arms is brand new so a bent or a damaged control arm wouldn't be the factor b/c it would show 2 different wear patterns.

once i get my lower strut collars for my coilovers back from ksport, i will install them then get the car aligned.
i was thinking about putting the 15'' stockers back on afterwards

Yeah that is toe wear. Toe in by the looks of it, basically the outer most of the tire is almost being pushed..
hard to explain..you know what happens when you wore your shoes on the wrong foot, your feet kinda point in, now imagine the tire trying to move forward when its always pointing in.
Damn, have you had any axle issues? Your control arms are at a pretty nice upwards angle, and your axle looks kinda akward lol. Even with my Eibachs, i notice my control arms are pretty close to being horizontal though!
