Default What's wrong with my alignment?

The insides of my tires are getting eaten up and I need to correct it quickly. I have recently installed a set of type R springs (about 1in drop) and kyb agx shocks on my gsr. The alignment does not feel that bad but I took a look at the tires today and they are geeting worn bad on the inside. As far as I know camber is not ajustable on integras, but I can see that the caber looks bad. So can a alignment fix this problem or do I need to buy a camber kit? Can anybody help me out here?

well, you do need an alignment, and you are probably going to need a camber kit fix it.

You probably don't need a camber kit. You just need to go get an alignment and get your toe adjusted. Toe eats more tread that camber.

its more a combination of the two that eats the inside tread of the tire.

When you change springs you throw the toe off way more than the camber. I dont think camber eats tires that much at all if you get an alignment soon after you install springs and keep a good rotation.
