your alignment must be seriously fucked because I have 3 degrees of negative camber all around and a set of tires lasts me at LEAST a year----I just bought a new set, the old tires lasted 13 months----your HR springs are no where near as low as my Sprint Extreme Rx's(3.5 in.), so if 6 months fucked your tires your toe is seriously screwed---go get a GOOD alignment.

I know how you feel man, i got the RX Extremes too.... I gotta say though, i love these springs. Theres not many spring that lower this much and are not bouncy. These RX's are great i DO need a camber kit tho

exactly,these springs are overlooked but they are tiiiite----I am not a coilover fan, and everyone thinks that u need them to be slammed----o contrare---my rx's have my ef slammed on to the tires(195-60-14) perfectly all around---I am running the infamous Illumina's and my **** rides like butter---no joke---those springs get 2 from me.....

In those 6 months.....how many miles did you drive the car? That's also a factor in how fast your tires wear, driving habits and the amount of driving you do will factor into how fast your tires wear especially if you're lowered. I can have a 3" drop but if I barely drive the car, my tires will last me for many years. Just a thought.

If your toe is off, you will have cupping towards the inside on Toe out, and towards the outter on Toe in.

I got a set of sprint blue springs, model number 1000 if you want them, excellent condition, used only 1 month n i bought them brand new. I tookem out n got RX Extremes cuz i wanted to slam my car. And as you can see Sprint is a good company, otherwise i wouldnt have bought another set from their company These blue ones are rated on sprints site to lower 2.5 front, 2.25 on the rear. After i put them in n they setteled, it actually only lowered an inch and a half (2 1/2 finger gap all around). Thats a good drop performance wise, but i wanted to slam my car. So yea, if you want them let me know, 70 picked up im in the 909 area... Or if you go to the honda tech meet on Jan 25 ill bringem...
