I'm riding on the H&R sports, as well, and haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear. It's only been about 5,000 miles, but all looks good at this point. I'm suprised that with just the 1.5" drop you are experiencing that much abnormal tire wear.

camber kit not necessary.

if you are getting vibration from the rear that gets worse with speed then
its a balancing issue.

however if its bumpy? could be the tires are messed up somehow.

I think I'll just wait til these bitches wear out and get 2 new tires.....and balance them and see what's up the tires are vibrating a bit at high speeds but mostly it goes bump bump....bump bump...when I'm driving slow...might be fucked up tires..bc my tires don't slant bad at all so I'll wear these babies out and get a couple of cheap back tires taht will last a long time...and good traction for the track any ideas???

***!!!CAMBER KITS ARE A MARKETING SCAM!!!***

Man I hate when shops try to rip people off.

Camber by itself is not bad.

TOE is what is killing your tires.

Toe and camber together is the bad combo, but it's the toe that's doing it. Getting an alignment will correct the toe issue.

EVERYTIME you change the height of your car, and everytime you get new tires, *get an alignment*.

Don't waste your $ on a camber kit.

I run 2.5 degees negative camber on the track, AND on the street. My tires are worn dead even, cause my toe is set properly . . .

You probably drag the rear tires with the parking brake on when you heat those 555s up right? Thats probably why you have flat spots on your tires. Or elso your using the parking brake to kick the *** end out maybe? Just trying to think of ways to flatspot your tires.

Yeah, thats your problem. The 555s only beed to be at about 95 degrees. So a quick burnout sould do it, also, drive around the water, and do it dry. What color is your integra? Ive probably seen you out there.
