No one will be able to answer that for you. You bought a generic POS coilover set from ebay. In all honesty, you probably hurt your car's handling a lot too.

My advice: get rid of it and save up for a decent set-up.

 

yeah i dont understand. you bought coilovers to ride at stock ride height. i can understand if you bought good coilovers and wanted to run them at stock height but you definently didnt get any performence out of your ebay ones

 

well when i bought them i lowerd my car it looked good sittin 1" off the ground but then it ate my tires up so i wanna put it back 2 stock hight... till i get a camber kit n new tires.. cuse im ridin on the wires lol..

 

camber doesnt really hurt tires tow does. did you get an alignment after you dropped it.

 

no dude i droped it but my tires are cambverin bad... n i drove 600miles.. which atre up the side of my tires all 4 of them...

Wow, you're special Camber is not going to do much to eat up your tires. They got worn out because you did not get your toe aligned after you put that POS set of coil-overs on. Yes, it's true.

 

my toe aligned wtf isd that lo???l

Ahahaha...well, there are 3 things that you need to be concerned with as far as wheel alignment:

-Camber: you know that, vertical angle of the wheel

-Caster: How far front or back the wheel is from the centerline of the suspension...like the 'casters' on a shopping cart.

-Toe: How straight forward the wheels are pointing. If the toe is off on 1 wheel, it will be pointing in a different direction from the other one and not straight forward. So it'll be sliding across the pavement in some spots rather than rolling. Not good That's what makes the tires wear...

You really messed up when you bought cheap *** ebay coilovers. You should never go cheap on suspension since that's what you car pretty much depends on other than the motor, when driving around. May as well throw those away and get a better suspension setup

 

some people just have to learn the hard way. It is guys like this that give imports a bad rap IMO. Yo just bling it out on some chrome out 18s boyeeee!!!!!!!

 

no honest it rides smootth n all just i cant find camber kit for it only reaer n i need afront camber lol the car runs 13 in 1/4mile all motor..

need to add another 2 sec. to that time SPC makes camber kits for the front of the car

 

Yeah honestly. If you have the smarts to get your car down to a 13 1/4, then one would expect you to know how suspension works. camber is not going to tear the **** out of your tires, and also everyone knows the first thing you do after you put on a new suspension is to get an alignment. The rule number 1, unless you plan on doing more to your suspension. then you're allowed by ricer law to drive it around for a while before adding more goodies to your sus. sys., and afterward you drive straight to the shop to get a good alignment, then you can go have fun turning onto your street going 60. Its just the rules dude.

 

lol dah no **** i mean i got skunk 2 strruts but evay coilovers.. so im good i fixed it now no allignment was needed..
