Camber kit / RCA for 3 Gen GS
I've been away from CL for a bit because I would always find something I want to buy so I went cold turkey to save my pockets. Well first week back after weeks of inactivity, and I'm in need (not want) of something. Are there Camber kits RCA's for the 3 GEN as yet.
Had to replace my tires today. The cupping noise was driving me crazy. I eat tires every 7,000 miles. Yeah, Yeah you pay to pay but that's getting old real quick.
Guys like Heng350 probably eat tires way faster than me so I'm not to sure how he deals with it. On my previous car I use to flip them left to right but then I gave in an got a camber kit.
My car is low but I would not call it slammed (pic below). I did a search and found a lot of options for the 2Gen but could not find a solution for our 3Gen. I remembered a couple of months ago there was one company that made RCA's for the 3GEN but could not locate the tread.

but i don't think the product is out yet.
your car doesn't look that low, maybe about the same as mine? i was able to get 20k miles out of my previous set of t1r (flip once after 10k). this time around i am using t1r again and i might flip at 9k (last time at 10k it was a bit "scary")

If your car is dropped usually you'll get some negative camber. More negative camber and the outside of your tires won't be supporting as much weight as the inside and as a result the insides wear faster. Camber kits are supposed to fix the negative camber and make even wear.

if i remember right, toe i means you want the wheels to point "inward", and it's a positive number. i forgot what number is good though. from factory spec i believe the spec is a bit positive already since the gs is rwd (i am not sure about awd), but to compensate camber wear you can put in a bit more than spec toe in

i believe you can get the you zealand camber blocks to adjust camber? i don't know anyone who has them; this product requires that you have coilovers (springs won't work).

I flip the tires at 10K and can esily get 17k out of a set of Falken FK452. I think you need to get them flipped. It costs you 150 dollars or so to have them flipped , remounted, and rebalanced and then you can more than double the mileage. My car is a touch lower than your car and I have no issues. I had a G35 before that went through tires every 12K miles so this is good mileage for me

I dunno about the front (because AWD has a minor camber adjustment) but the back has several options for camber adjustment. I personally just installed the FIGS rear lower control arms which when paired with the adjustable toe bars can bring your suspension back into spec. Megan Racing also sells all the rear suspension bars to adjust the 3GS rear camber and toe, but from what I hear, you have to purchase 3 out of 4 of the rear bars to correct the camber. (BTW, AWD and RWD suspension is the same as the 2IS).
