My car was shaking when there was a load on the motor so i brought it into the local shop today. They found out it was because my car was not properly aligned for how low it was (not exactly sure how low it is, but i bought it with some ebay adjustable coilovers and its on the lowest setting... which is pretty low) and the insides of the front tires were comepletly worn down.

They said there were 2 options.. one that it would be raised up enough to be a compermise but it might wear a little, and two to buy some proper lowering components.

I was wondering if anyone has had this problem? Does anyone know a measurement for the lowest the car can be without wearing the tires or buying more expensive components? thanks

 

Oh, by the way, its a 92 SR body, 17" rims with some cheapo low-pro tires.

 

you have 2 choices

either return it back to close to almost stock ride hieght

or buy a camber kit, and readjust your camber to be correct for the height you want to ride at

 

if you lower you car you need a camber kit. I have to buy one soon too because i have a low lude too and i have low profile tires and they get $$$$ to change. Thats why part of your tire is worn out

 

yeah, you'll need a camber kit.

 

You chould be able to have it about 1 to 1.25 inch lower then stock without absolutely needing a camber kit.

A little bit of neg. camber is a good thing, but too much will eat tires.

The best thing to do is get a printout from teh alignment machine ( if they used the laser type) and we can help you find the correct camber kit.

 

Alright, thanks. Is there any difference between any brands of kits or are they all pretty standard?

 

yes, there are different styles of camber kits and different degrees of adjustment.

here is a thread i started about camber kits.

you can prob go as low as 1.5'', that's how much i dropped lude and the tires are still in great condition. (It has been almost half a year)

 

Since my front tires are now ruined, any suggestions for new tires? On a budget so looking for something that performs for the buck. Right now I'm using some cheap chinese Nankang NS-1 tires that came with my rims. 205/40/17 thanks
