SPC front camber delivery extended!!
#18
i don't see why you guys would even need those... im running -1.8
and it's fine (great cornering response, tires wearing flat). actually,
even if i had stock ride height i would dial in about -1.7 to -2 up front.
thats why most camber kits are agressive in the negative side and
barely any adjustment for positive.
i say screw those arms and just get your money back. get something
else.

Great! The Suspension gurus have all spoken. Geez . . . Now, you guys have given me something to reconsider. My front camber is at -1.3 left and -1.9 right and I am loving the way the car handles. If the additional tire wear is not going to be that much more, I would seriously consider dropping my order. I have some 4000 miles on my front 255/35x19 set-up and without raising the front end up, I can't see anymore tire wear on the inside of the treads . . . And there has been 100's upon 100's of miles of hard driven twisties on this set-up.
Thanks for chiming in guys. You give me food for thought.

You guys do make a point, my only concern is buying tires after tires for my 20" gt-c which isn't cheap, and you can feel the car isn't in good shape when the tires are worn out in the inside which kinda wobbles. I also heard that the drive is much better and smoother when people got their front camber back to specs and that i could feel a difference in a good way! I don't track my car, just cruise and get on it at times! Ill think about this.

r u guys serious?
none of you see more tire wear on the inside than the outside? i've been lowered for 23,000 miles or so and there is definitely more wear on the inside.
i don't have my camber numbers with me, but am lowered on Eibach pro-kit.
if you're happy with tires that last 25,000 miles, than you prolly don't need this camber kit. I have Toyo T1R tires.

I'm definitely installing a rear camber kit on my G to try to bring it as close to spec as possible. As a matter of fact my camber kit is already at Status waiting for me. But I have talked to a few people that say the same thing as above. As long as you are within half a degree or so of spec, you really don't need a front camber kit. After I get my rear kit installed, I'm gonna get an alignment to see where I am at and take it from there.

do you guys think i should wait, however long, for the SPC front a-arms or just get kinetex, now?

My car is lowered on tein s-tech (on the verge of switching to eibach prokit), each sides camber is at -1.8. I've had Toyo T1Rs since January of this year. Yesterday I had my tires cross rotated and the front tires aren't really that bad. They aren't exactly wearing flat like kenchan's but it isn't that bad. The rears, on the other hand, that's a different story (camber is measured at -1.4 for both sides in the rear).
I placed an order a couple of weeks ago for the a-arms not only to correct the front camber but to bring the top of the wheels closer to the fender. I don't really like the tucked in look.
If you dropped your car about an inch you shouldn't really worry about your front tires wearing out. Pay attention to the rear tires.
