Default √ Celebrating no more camber wear.

Finally spent the dough on a front camber kit to hopefully make a set of tires last more than 10k miles. Just washed her today and figured I'd get some quick pics...

yes. first alignment since i've had the car (2 yrs) lol. BUT i am already in the middle of a set of tires. so the tires on the rear are from the front and have significant camber wear at the moment. so not 100% out of the water yet lol.

Most of the time the toe angle is what shreds tires. Ton's of people run a few degrees negative camber up front for handling and don't have severe inside tire wear. People don't realize that when you dump a car the toe angle changes as well as the camber and everyone just blames it on camber. You said yourself that you just got the first alignment the car ever had under your ownership.

thats why i asked about the alignment Fallout, because they woud fix the toe as well as adjusting the camber kits. But we all know that toe eats tires as well as camber wear.
