I am dropped on Tein S-Tech springs, installed the SPC F & R camber kit. My tire wear for the back tire has been even. As for the front I have increased wear on the inner 2 inches of the tire. I’ll have to get new tires for the front while the rears are about at 50%.
My question is what are others experiences with drop (particularly front setup) and tire wear. I would like to find the ideal setup for drop and maximum tire wear life.

I'm in a 2003 Sedan.

Thanks for you help.

 

 

Maybe it was the way I worded the thread topic. I want even tire wear at all four corners with a drop. I'm on Tein S-Tech with SPC camber kit all around. I still have a little bit of neg camber for the front which causes inner tire tread wear. In the future I would like to get the most out of the front tire tread wear. I want the best of both worlds, drop and tire wear. It seems S-Techs w/ camber kit is still to low of a drop for even tire wear.

Is there anyone else who is dropped that has even tire wear, specifically front suspension setup. Thanks for your help.

 

what is your alignment set at? Did you install the SPC spacers on the front? Sounds like you really just need a better alignment

 

No spacers in the front. When I got the alignment done about 2-3 weeks after install the tech said he maxed out the camber kit for the front but still had neg camber.

 

if a shop doesn't give you hard numbers, then I wouldn't trust their work. Toe is also a big factor in tire wear, what did they set that to?

 

I have the print out at home. I'll post soon.

 

For longest wear, make it 0 toe as well as minimal camber on the front and rear suspension. Toe will kill tires faster than camber.

 

I do not recommend zero toe front or rear. You want a small amount of toe in to counter the movement in the suspension as the car travels. I run 0.04 toe in all around with decent wear

 

HAHAHAHAH........

 

Damn, I'm dropped on 350Z S-Tech's and I'm gonna go get an alignment this weekend. No camber kit up front, only in back. Hopefully I don't have too much trouble. Everything I read / people that I talked to said I should be fine without a kit in front.

 

^^ your gonig to need it its im off buy -1.9 up front suppose to be betweent -0.8 to .07
that on the left side the right side is -1.8. you can see the wear on the tires imma get my flip after i get my coilovers put on along with the camber kit

 

Well, I must have misplaced the print out. I had the alignment done at Import Auto Specialist. http://importautospecialists.net/. The tech brought me to the bay and showed me that he maxed out the camber plate or whatever it is called. I guess what I would like to hear is that if there is another SEDAN owner dropped on such & such springs up front and has even tire wear. The S-techs give me a raked look so I don't mind raising the front up a bit. Anyone on H-techs up front? How's the tire wear?

 

Yeah my front camber is pretty messed up too. Left was -1.6 and right was -2.1

I'm not going to worry about it though since I don't have a ton of tread left on my fronts, and it'll be cheaper to just have the tires on the fronts swapped left to right if they're wearing too unevenly.

 

I've got an 05 MT sedan on H-Techs... Even I'm having a problem with inner tire wear up front... It seems like getting a camber kit for the front slightly solves the problem... Some clarity would be helpful...
