Exclamation Quick question

Ive had my unrevised springs on for about 5 months and about 4k Ive noticed that my rear tires are wearing a little on the inside. I think that this is becasue I have some negative camber. I never got an alignment becasue after I got the springs installed the car went just as straight as before. My question is will getting an alignment fix this problem or will I need a camber kit. If I do need a kit is it hard to install or should I thke it somewhere to be done. I amagine that I will need a alignment after a kit is installed if i need one.

Thanks

I would get an alignment first and see how off the camber is. I had Z springs but not alot of camber.

I installed my rear camber kit myself took me about 3 hours and no air tools, the install is pretty simple.

Definitely go get an alignment, its not really the camber that would kill your tires that quick, its the toe. If your toe is out significantly it will eat tires up like no other. You can get back into or very close to spec with the stock adjustments.

Toe will kill your tires a lot faster than camber.

But you are lowered and will have some negative camber so you will want to swap your tires a couple times over their life.

would you rather spend $50-$100 on an alignment or $300-400 on new tires?

Go get an alignment and, soon
