Quick question.

My G was lowered about 0.5 inch and the camber is not bad, but I still get a bit uneven wearing on the rear tires. I am wondering if possible to go back to factory spec without replace rear camber kit? Thanks for answering.

Did you get an alignment done yet? If not, get one right away. The installation probably threw the toe out of wack. The camber can also be corrected slightly. With only a .5" drop you can probably get back to within specs, but it wouldn't hurt to pick up a rear camber kit since the alignment specs are so wide.

Thanks for your input. I had alignment right after the installation of springs. It has been 1 year since I had these spring on. Everything is working great. I am gonna try to get alignment again and see the result.

the inner treads will wear out even in stock form. it's the way the
car is designed... the rear requires a lot of toe-in to track correctly
and to limit wandering when the sus strokes. plus with the camber, its
just the way it is.

I fully understand this point. My current wearing on the rear tires is not normal as other stock G's. I am getting a new set of wider tires next month. If I do not adjust the rear camber back to factory spec, I might get worse wearing on inner treads of rear tires.
