You didn't mention what size tires you're running but I'm sure your main issue is alignment. Where did you have the alignment done and did they give you a readout so you can see where the issue might be? You seriously need to find a brake/alignment shop in your area that knows how to adjust your suspension. Talk to friends and neighbors, every area has at least one the does the job correctly....lucky I have two! I'm not talking about Firestone/Sears or PepBoys those guys shouldn't be called mechanics....Gary

GEE3FIVEE, where do you live? Under FORUM at the bottom is REGIONAL, find the area you live in and look for a thread called RECOMMENED SHOPS. This is where our members have taken their cars and are satisfied with the work completed....check em out!

Definitely check out different shops. I'd go to a dedicated suspension/alignment shop to see if everything is within spec.

well nobody mentioned that regardless of your alignment, the fact that you have your car dropped on that setup WILL wear unevenly whether you like it or not. Just depends on how close you can get it to sitting straight, but sorry to say, lowering = more tires more often.

(this have been my experience at least).

Explain...alignment dictates tire wear, not ride height.

Clarification:

If you lower your car WITHOUT adding aftermarket parts to correct allignment, yes, you will have problems. If you install "camber arms" and "toe bolts", you can correct it back to factory specs.

Just thought of something, OP, are your tires the right pressure?

Chris you can lower your G with the correct parts have normal tire wear, "Surprise!"
He has the camber kit installed Chris, just needs to get bushing installed! Had the alignment been done correctly he shouldn't have tire wear and the skittish response he's experiencing. You can buy the most expensive alignment rack in the world but if you don't know how to make the adjustments it will never be right.
