Default Bad camber on my Eg check this out!

I have a 93 honda civic CX lowered 2.25 and i have gone through 2 sets of tires......I have a camber kit and i am just waiting to get 4 brand new Sumitomo's. I was just wondering b-c my car is lowered 2.25 on Honda HX wheels( 14's) i would expect it to be slammed a lil more. If i got an alighment and camber fixed would it be a lil lower ? b-c i saw this pic in the new super street and it showed the spring kinda learning over not completely on the shock meaning if the camber was perfect then it would be a lil lower!...n e one have an idea? thanks for ur help!

try the washers trick yet?? And mostly tire wear is caused by bad toe out, the best thing to do once you lower your car is to get an alignment and set toe at 0 or 1 if you want more turning ability. ALIGNMENT is key..!

you can only use washers for the rear... unlike 6th civics, when lowered the rear end has more camber than the front... but on 5th gens it's the opposite... and having 2.25" drop doesn't help... toe adjustments have nothing to do with camber

nothing to do with camber, but it does have somethig to do with ur tires wearing out quicker.
