i jus lowered my teg with h&r sport springs and tokico illumina shocks. i know i should get a camber kit asap but im low on money. how long can i go before i screw up my tires? and if anyone know where i can get good deal on the skunk 2 camber kit?

 

use washers in the back and hit up http://www.lightningmotorsports.com for the Skunk2 kit

 

I've been running H&R Sport springs for well over 1.5 years now w/o camber kit, no big deal. Get your car aligned w/ the rear toe set to factory spec, and front toe set to about 1 deg. negative. That will help the tires wear almost perfectly even. My front toe is set to 0 in front and I'm getting a little wear on the inside edges of the front tires (I'm down to 2/32 after 15K miles, -2.3 deg. camber). A friend told me if I set the front tires to toe in about 1 degree it would help reduce that uneven wear.

thats funny, yes your tires might wear even if you do that, but then that mean you'll just wear out the whole tire faster instead of just the inside edge.
the best thing to do is just get a camber kit for the front. your tires will wear ok as long as the toe set right, but still better to have a camber kit. but for the rear, you can just add washers to the rear. each washer is about .5 degrees positive camber, depending on the thickness of the washer.

well what I'm saying is, it's not that bad. Lower your car 3" and don't get an alignment, and your tires will be toast in probably 3K miles or so. I did get an alignment and I have 15k miles so far, even w/ -2.3 deg. camber. Toe-in is what's important as far as keeping tire wear in check.

I have to try that next time I get an alignment
