Default suspension problem

i got my car a while ago and they guy had cut springs and the suspension was really messed up. I put spoonsports nonadj dampers on their and im having the same problem the tires in the back are in toed and wear really quick on the inside and the front 1s wear really quick on the inside is this because I need a camber kit? Thats what I think I could be wrong

well if they are wearing out on the inside it means that the tire is not being distibuted evenly on the road... and a camber kit can fix that... but rip out those cut springs and start off fresh with some new ones

Do an alignment, out of spec toe will kill your tires 10x faster then off cambers. How much of a drop do you have right now?

Yeah, it sounds like you just need an alignment. Everyone thinks camber kits will keep there tires from wearing out fast, but it isnt true at all.

if ur drop is more that 2" s definintly look into a camber kit..but there are alot out there and the shops are just dying to take u...on my GT i can get shim s for less than $50 and front adjustment bolts for a little over $100...
