)then of course there is that you zealand camber block thingy, but you need to be dropped on coilovers for that thing - someone correct me if i'm wrong on this (and it won't work if you are dropped on springs)

Its been lower on Eibach pro kits 1.2" , i didnt realized how severe the damage was until 1 month to late, so i couldt rotate them anymore.
thanks for the option but
Im concern about the flipping the tires inner to outter shoulders, it comes out costy every 3k miles that will be around 6-7 times a year, around $300 - $400 just to be able to get a few extra k miles on it, eventually it will be the same cost as just wearing them out to the max. and not to count the time and headache you will need to spend at the wheel shop for them to do the work and hopefully not damage your rims or pressure sensors.

i dont disagree with you at all. i never had to flop tires before so i didnt know what the average miles is before you turn them (obviously it will depend on your tires too). if its say every 9k, i wouldnt mind then since i probably only drive my car a total of 5k a year any way. id much rather spend 45 mins and 60 bucks at the tire shop then have to spend nearly 1000 on new tires.

if i recall correctly, revenge motorsports in california offered to make camber kits for us. they just need a california GS owner to volunteer their car for a couple of days. so far no takers. do a search, i've tried to bring attention to this forum, but it's fallen on deaf ears. 
Thanks for helping out, and request to pull up the thread as a "Sticky"- but it seemed no moderator is interested to assist in this project
...I will revive the thread once more!Yep, the JDM VIP Style- yet they complain about the excessive inner tire wear (how ironic)
....You got to Pay, to Play

that's why you need to flip the tires left and right. mount the left tire on the right, and vise versa. that's very typical for a lot of lowered cars.
just the price you pay for looking nice
one thing about camber kits to keep in mind. for those who have wheels maybe on bit aggressive side, with camber kits you might start running into rubbing issues, depending on the camber kit design

...Aggressively lowered vehicles with wider tires are rotated more often...That is why a good, proprietory R&D program (for a specific vehicle) is needed to design the ideal camber kit, so that there won't be any issues after the installation of the kit.+++FOR ANY INTERESTED MEMBER : RevengeMotorsports (SanDiego, Ca) for Camber Kit R&D--CONTACT THEM FOR FURTHER INFORMATION+++

I got maybe 10k on the set of falkens now and they still look new. Well the backs do anyways, front have a little inner camber wear. I'll need to look at them again.
But yeah, you gotta watch your tires and know when to flip them.

Periodic tire rotation is part of an ideal maintenance program for any vehicle (lowered, or not)...iI don't want to end up flipping out due to endless tire flipping ...Aggressively lowered vehicles with wider tires are rotated more often...That is why a good, proprietory R&D program (for a specific vehicle) is needed to design the ideal camber kit, so that there won't be any issues after the installation of the kit.

not denying about camber kits though, they definitely have their pros and i'd love the factory suspension to have at least some adjustment. but at the same time they don't come without compromise
regarding sticky, i am still not sure if it's warranted. you or others can feel free to bump the related thread asking for cars. once a week should be more than adequate.

I had no problems on the IS and so far I am in spec on the GS. I dont think I would waste the $$ on this but if THMotor wants to make something for the rest I am willing to drive over and let them lift my car for measurements and to see what options there are for everyone. Just let me know.
