Yeah its the big chain discount tires, they been around that spot for a while.. HMM i think most discount tires around my area do alignments.. And the alignment told me theres no way I can get a camber kit cuz they dont make it yet.. So i dont know about that statement.

if your 2is's aren't so ridiculously lowered, you might not need camber kits.

and past a certain ride height, even a camber kit won't help.

though swapping tires from left/right more often might help alleviate the wear from camber.

heres a solution


buy cheap tires that are easy to replace within a year and you wont need to be paying an arm and leg for them.


if you think our camber is bad, go look on some VW forums. after browsing there, i bet people here will stop complaining on how we have -2 degrees of camber.


heres a pic for your viewing



oh and btw, i know its been said before, but im just clarifying. Camber DOES NOT wear your tires down as fast as TOE does. if your tires start to show incredible wear, check your toe first because that will be the reason behind the tire wearing before camber will be the reason.

I always buy some cheap tires because I know tires wear out by driving a car everyday.. I want to get rear wider rims like 11 inch and want to adjust the negative camber because I want the rims slide under the fender without hestitate and worry about more fender modification... The front need camber kit because the fender and bumper sit together and they touch the tires with low offset rims.. If I want to adjust negative front, I dont think they will likely to touch between the fenders and a bumper.. Ya know Im saying... Im not worry about tire wear out because of the negative camber.. I just want to do something easier way without trouble...
