yes its cause you cut your springs... ive done it b4 and its probably the worst thing you could have done, you will have uneven tire wear tweeked shocks, and a nightmare of a ride on a bump-e road.

First of all you should kill yourself for being an idiot. Did anybody tell you before that cutting springs is dangerous?

Second of all you will ride like **** and you just destroyed your suspension.

Third of all yes you will need alligment. That's what destroyed your tires. Don't have money to buy suspension, because you are cheap ***, do you have $200 for camber kit and $70 for alligment??? I don't think so.

you know how hard it is to find a 95 si? much less one that is stock...and you went off and ruined the suspension.. you could of bought $40 springs off of ebay and not killed your suspension for the love of God...well good luck on rebuilding your suspension, oh yeah to answer your question: YES

Did you really need to ask tihs question. It's not that the lowering caused it, I'm sure you didnt cut the springs consistently between the 4? And I'm almost positive you didnt align the car after you lowered it. Buy a lowering kit of springs or coilovers, put it on, and then align the car. ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!!!!!!!

He is a dumbfuck either way. I don't feel save driving next to idiots like this. You never know when his wheel going to come off, or tie rod going to break and he is going to pile into you. If you don't know how to work on your car, don't, pay someone else to do it, or don't touch the car.

like everyone else said, yes its because you were too cheap to buy springs and an alignment that your ghettohacked springs have killed your tires. great job.
