So i listened to some of you guys and didnt get a camber kit on my em1 with d2 coils slammed out.. went to a well known alignment shop for lowered cars and they said my car was not lowered properly unsafe for the road bla bla bla .. but they set everything as close to factory spec and its been maybe 3 weeks and the inside of my tires are already cambered pretty good .. so im going to need new tires soon and thinking of getting camber kits now.. and i lost the spec sheet so cant tell you the toe settings and such..

also i think my axles are blown from being to low maybe? they dont make any noise but i did an oil change today and noticed that theres a thick gray oily liquid splattered everywhere near my axles.. so i think they are blown and have been riding on them like that for a while probably? is it bad to keep riding on them or do you think they will seize up and my car wont move soon?

lastly i got some eassa lower control arms from my buddy for putting an alarm in.. they look like ek lcas but came off his eg hatch .. altho i think the shocks on them were ek also and blow to ****.. anyone heard of htem i couldnt find any reviews and the buschings are gone anyone know where i can find some new ones?

any info appreciated thanks

 

I really couldn't understand whatever you were trying to say but, get ur axles replaced, and be safe and get a camber kit if u want to save lil bit of tire life but it your ballin then **** it haha... but idk about the lcas but get some more better brand like skunk2's or function 7's better to do it right the first time with good quality products. just my 2 cents.

 

If the inside of your tires are almost bald,then it's more than likely that the toe angle is off.

A misaligned toe angle will wear out tires waaaaaay quicker than if your camber is off.I know first hand and won't go through it again.

 

wat he said^.. I think the shop you went to just sucked. and did a poor job.

 

ditto, I and many others have had negative camber, sometimes extreme, for many years without problems.

 

As weird as it sounds I drove around with upwards of 3 degrees of negative camber in the front for 6 months and you can BARELY start to tell. Toe was set right when the car was lowered.

 

Doesn't sound weird to me at all. Sounds perfectly normal.

It might sound weird to the lemmings who insist that a camber kit is ALWAYS required when you lower a car

 

Find that spec sheet so we can see what's really going on. A lot of shops like to add toe-in for both front & rear to make the car more stable in a straight line. Or..... they may have left your settings a little off to accelerate the edge wear and sell you tires AND camber kits later on. I go to Sears here in Vegas. They never once gave me any bull-****, and my tires live long.

Personally I wouldn't trust a shop that insists you need a camber kit...
