I just got brand new tires for my car and just got an alignment done. The shop told me that I am toe-in 3 degree's front and 2 degrees rear because my car is too lowered.

I have a 2000 civic si w/ eibach springs lowerd to about 3 inches from stock height.

The guy said i can not install camber kits because if i fix the camber my tire will rub against my fender.

My question is, if i get a skunk 2 camber kit in the front and rear will that fix the camber wear...or should i just buy a whole new suspension set up and not drop the car that much?


LMK your suggestions on how I should get rid of my camber wear! thx in advance

 

Did they fix your toe setting, or just tell you they were messed up? And did you mean "camber" and not "toe" (they are two different thing)?

The tire might not rub the fender, but the larger Skunk2 UCAs will certainly hit the shock towers when you go over bumps.

And lastly, How did you get eibach springs that lower the car 3"? Are you perhaps talking about Ground-Control sleeves?

 

Raise the car up about 1.5 inches.

If you have high performance summer tires and you drive the car aggressively, you probably wont have a problem with camber wear being that it's an EK which has double wishbone suspension. If you have low end tires and drive normally on the street, you're going to want to get the camber at least to the high side of spec. On an EG this is -1.3 degrees on the front, not difficult at all.

What size rims and tires? Is it the same aspect ratio as stock?

Be careful with the term "camber wear". I think we're all supposed to put our hands over our ears and scream retarded noises (in other words, people on HT will tell you that it does not exist in any way, shape, or form).
