Default 1995 Honda Accord Camber issue HELP!

I need help! I have a 1995 Accord 4 door. I have horrible wear problems on my rear tires, burning through tires and am over it. I have read a few posts and stuff online and it seems like its camber, but both sides of my tires wear bad! I had a blow out saturday night at 70mph and it sucked, so i need to get this fixed ASAP. It has sprint lowering kit on it (installed before my ownership). Tires just recently started wearing bad like this as of november ish. What causes this wear on inside and outside of tires? inflation was where it should be. Is it Camber or something else? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I would say camber if it's wearing on the inside of the tires. If so:

Also get a alignment check before the trick and get a alignment afterwards.

I agree. I had the same problem when i slammed mine. Look up some Megan Racing rear control arms. They will give you the adjustment you need. And dont forget the alignment!

Hey wassup, yea you need a camber kit for sure and an alignment. There are some inexpensive ones now that are good quality. All the kit includes is some longer bolts for the top of the control arm and spacer/washers. If you want to be able to align more then you need the pricier adjustable rear arms, just depends how slammed your car is. How is your camber in the front, since you did not mention it?

If the outer tread blocks are wearing the tires are under-inflated. Being its the cold season you want to make sure your tires are correctly inflated. You need to check the pressure 'cold' before the car has been driven, and preferably not when the tires have been in the sun. First thing in the morning.

When are you checking tire pressures? Do you have multiple gauges or just one? Verify that it is indeed working properly. Gas station gauges are very inaccurate.

Does this link show what you are experiencing?
