Please help me local guys!!!

Ok so here is the problem my tires keep feather/chopped!! I have owned the car for a year now and this is my second set of tires. I originally had sprint spings with a 2" drop all the way around with stock shocks. I thought it was my shocks due to the aggressive so I bough Tokico Dspecs. My camber has always been hella off but would a camber kit help stop the chopping/feathering???

A 2" drop with no camber kit or toe bolts??? Definitely get some, asap!

I'm using SPC toe bolts and my camber arms are from Fidanza.

I have no idea... I don't think they are actually made by Fidanza, that's just who I got them through. I don't know what brand they are. Here's a pic. The camber arm is the one on the left. On the right is the toe arm.

Feathered tread? If the tread is wearing sideways (kinda sickle shape) then it's your toe. That's even worse for wearing out tires.

Camber will result in wearing out on just the inside of the tire (which is bad, too). The way suspension works usually, if the camber is out, your toe goes out too. If you can fix your camber, then it usually fixes your toe. And sounds like you need to fix it bro!

to me it sounds like its your toe, i know plenty of people running -2 camber and they not have the a feathering problem

just dont expect your tires to last more than 10k miles

+1 for sen and jose. TOE is way more important than camber. either way, get some front and rear camber arms and rear toe bolts.

I dont think you can use the Toe arm unless you have a True coilover setup .

Oh that's interesting. Last I remembered, the "toe arm" in the rear is the actual spring bucket. I guess that's what he meant coilover setup.
