Lightbulb camber alignment problems???? HELP

i have lowered my car last year with Eibach springs and got the front upper control arm. and rear camber arm.

Well now almost a year later my front tires are REALLY wearing out bad on the inside. The alignment place said that it is the closest they can get it. They have the Camber as far as close as they can get it with still having the toe in....

What can i do about this. I only have 8000 miles on the front tires and they are really wore out bad (on the inside). I am gonna have the tires swapped from left to right front.. since my factory 18's are offset..

Was just hope'n that i could get this problem fixed. and that someone knows of something that i can do.. I can't keep on going through tires every 10,000 miles..

Thanks

What front camber arms do you have? What are the actual alignment settings? They should provide you with a printout

i have a front camber kit from eurosportgarage.. i am waiting back from them to find out what the specs are for it. If you know please let me know.. I am thinking i am going to have to buy a eibach pro align kit for the front and just sell these old ones.. wow this sucks.. wasted money

-1.5 and -1.2 were the best settings that they could bet with still having the toe in ...


so i need another whole degree to get my car within specs.. any suggestion?????????????//

I would suggest getting SPC/SPL/350evo camber arms. NOT Cusco if you need more positive adjustment

You don't have to install the spacers. SPC is the only brand of front camber arms that has more than 1 degree of positive adjustment with the spacers. Every other company is limited by the space in the wheelwells. So if you are looking for the most positive adjustment, SPC is the only way to go

thanks i will check them out.. appreciate the help.. i still havent heard from the company i have the originals from. All the websight says is up to -4degrees.. so i am thinking that even the eibach will work there since they have +3.5 to -1.5 but i wll check yours out also.. do you know where i could find either cheap??

Just purchased some SPC Cambers yesterday from THMotorsports. He's a vendor on here. Definitely knows his stuff and can probably work you a good deal. He did create a thread just for these camber kits to help people out. spc-camber-kit-help-center-thmotorsports Just throw a PM his way.
