Default HELP! Tires are getting EATEN ALIVE!

Help! I lowered my car with some coilovers, and just put on a camber kit. Now both front tires are getting chewed up badly! The passenger side is having negative camber wear, while the driver side is having positive! What's wrong here??? Will a specialist from an allignment place diagnose the problem? Thanks!

did you get an alignment after you lowered the car? it is probably your toe.

Yea, an alignment specialist should know what to do.

If it's an older shop I would explain how some of the aftermarket adjustment might work if they've never seen them before but I would have it aligned Asap.

camber does wear tires, but not nearly as bad as toe will. with a lowered car, i suggest getting an alignment every 6 months, or at the very minimum once a year. otherwise, expect to go through tires like there is no tomorrow.
