Has she got an alignment at all, usually from my experience the caster and toe get way off and cause you to eat up your tires fast. But yeah camber does too, I use Ingalls kits and I love them. I have used the Ingalls kits on my old 96 Accord, and now my 96 civic hatch and I love them, great quality.

well I though about that too but the idiots that had the car before her heated the springs and put a good toe in on the tires I pretty sure that the people that had it b/f her tried to get it allined but didn't succeed...as for the heated springs their going to get coil-overs sometime she just don't have the money right now for them...

Toe in is your problem!! you can do an "eye" alignment while your waiting to get it alligned at a shop.
