How long have you had your springs on the car?

jasonbegin · 06-21-2006, 08:31 PM

about 2,000 miles or so

starglorystar · 06-21-2006, 08:32 PM

Did you have an alignment done after installing the springs?

its normal... with the camber from lowering springs, the inside of your back tires are going to wear faster than the rest. just get an alignment to lessen the wear on the back tires. and rotate them when you are supposed to and you should be fine. my car is dropped 2.25 inches and i never got an alignment or rotated my tires and i put 27000 miles on the tires before replacing them. so with the alignment and rotations the tires should last a little longer.

its not normal to have noticeable wear in 2000 miles your toe is probably screwed cause that causes tire wear a lot more than - camber get an alignment.

EVERYONE SHOULD GET AN ALIGNMENT EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE RIDE HEIGHT OR ADJUST SUSPENSION!!!

Likely an alignment... and don't go thinking it's automatically the camber - the most common problem after lowering is to have a lot of TOE-in - especially on the rear.

lots of shops keep telling me i need a camber kit, and a allignment will not do S h i t

ok its normal if you dont get an alignment. well it should be expected anyway. haha. like i said i never got an alignment either but my tires lasted me 27000 miles. just got an alignment and brand new tires so i should be good to go.

Dood. your alignement is WAY off if you just installed springs and drive your car. You do NOT need a camber kit with the h-techs. it will align within spec. You lower your car and do not have an alignment, mad tire wear is expected no matter what.
