Default From the Back, the rear Wheels....

Hello. I've seem to notice this recently and wanted to see if others were experience the similar look.

My car's been lowered (Tein-Coil-overs -- Not the fake ones) with sitting on 19". From the back, the rear wheels look like they're leaning in-wards (aka. butterflying). They're not really bad, where I have to replace the tires every 6 months, but I wanted to see if there is a way to get this fixed.

I have a feeling that it's the camber issue, but can't find any kits for the 06 GS. Anyone with ideas / comments / feedback is greatly appreciated.


Thank you

Have you done your alignment yet? If not you can have a shop adjust the toe on your rear and that should solve the problem.

Default Got it done today...

I just got back from the alignment shop. They said that the rear wheels were off and showed me the ratios and explained how off they were.

They advised getting a camber kit to keep the settings as much as possible. I've checked online and also checked Autobac to see if they had a camber kit for the 06 GS, but no luck.

I'd was wondering if the kit for the 2005 & 2006 are the same. ??//??

Thanks HKN,

Next time I go in for an alignment, I'll let them know about this.
