Inside tire wear
#16
Specialty Products? Ugg, what utter junk. They use cheap polyurethane on their kits. I had SOOO many problems with their kits I said never again. You can count me out. Besides I don't mind a little more tire wear if the car handles better anyway. Negatve camber is a good thing--to a point.

Any better suggestions? I've recomended specialty products kits to a lot of people after switching to them. They are very heavy duty and solid....and not cheap at all. I dont know what you're talking about.
Last time I checked, polyurethane is a lot better than rubber for suspensions. You get a much stiffer ride by having the polyurethane bushings.
About 1 degree of negative camber is ideal for handling and tire wear. Yes, more negative handles abit better but only to a certain point then it's downhill again.

Polyurethane wears very fast and is very noisy. That's why Japanese aftermarket companies ONLY use hardenned rubber. US companies use polyurethane because it's super cheap to tool for. Nothing more. I kept wearing out my bushings on the specialty products kits in 10,000 miles and simply got sick of replacing them. They didn't even warranty them for me. Forget it.
