I'm pretty sure I might have made two mistakes. 1 I lowered my car by cutting the springs but realized the error of my ways and bought some Tien S springs from a friend it was supposed to be for his Integra like a 94 I think. installed them and the tire is slightly tucked in the front now. I failed to get an alignment after I was turned away from the shops for having a lowered car. Had some friends tell me of a place I could have it done. the very inner of my front tires are already to wire so I'll change them out I got a Revo Camber Correction Kit for my year Civic 4Dr 00. I'm hoping after I install this ball joint it will help with camber and when It's aligned will fix the toe in. or Maybe I should just put my old noncut springs back in and be happy I can make it over speed bumps and down dirt roads without squinting my eyes and praying to god I don't hit something with my oil pan or some ****.

 

you wore out the insides because of toe, not camber. If you just fix the camber w/o fixing the toe you'll do the same thing to your next tires. Just get an alignment

 

how low is the car. you said the front tires are tucking under the fender, do you have the right springs on the front and rear

 

I'd say it's less than half inch under the front fender. Rear is fine wears normal. I'll just go ahead and put the camber in and have it aligned

 

adjusting the camber isnt going to fix toe. you adjust toe on the front of your car by turning the tie rods in or out, whatever the alignment machine says to do. a shop is going to adjust the toe and camber anyways. jsut get it aligned and stop prematurely wearing out tires

I didn't believe people who said this before I did my first alignment. I found info in the eg civic forum talking about how the "camber wear" you have will be greatly reduced if you simply get your tow fixed.

My old std hatch had bad camber wear, and I wanted to try and test the theory. I put it on the alignment rack at my auto tech class, and aligned the tow to what I was told was acceptable by the shopkey program and the alignment guide i found on here.

I never touched camber.

It was amazing how much longer my tires lasted with the tow corrected. I knew that the little bit of negative camber I had couldn't have been the culprit for my massive balding spots, but was skeptical at first.

Trust me, correct tow will help a ton. If you can't get an alignment shop to do it, find a local technical college with an alignment rack. Those classes usually do work as freebies for educational purposes.

Good Luck

btw, you will also notice a smoother ride and better handling if the tow was horrible like mine was.. I never thought it would make such a difference.. My instructor said that I should have felt my car "skipping" down the road, that is how bad mine was.. lol front was in, rear was out..
