he was his toe was perfect.

sorry to bring back this thread but seems like a good one to bring back up..

my situation is this

i have ingalls camber kit installed in my eg hatch. have been adjusted and aligned at least three times the past 6 months or so. and my tires still wear out like crazy..

the right side will wear out fast. but the weird thing is that it wears out evenly throughout the whole tire. and my left side will wear out fast but from the mid to inner section..

can anyone help me? im tired of always having to worry about my tires when i drive to like l a or something or like an hour drive etc. plz help.

If you gotta get an alignment every time u alter the ride height, I don't see too much point in gettin' adjustable coils like Tein or something unless you're tracking a lot, but like.. i gotta question...

If you raise/lower the suspension for like a track day, and then afterwards put it back to the position you had it before, do you still need to get it aligned?

if you change your height even the slightest, is it like a dramatic change in your alignment or is it just an over time kinda of thing. whats the worst case scenario?

perfect meaning what? every car has a certain toe angle spec which on most if not all hondas is not 0.
if you want minimal wear, set the toe angle to 0 degrees. you also have the benefit of better turn in etc.

are your tires properly inflated?(this seems to be the most logical answer to your irregular wear problem)
has your car ever been wrecked?
thrust angles can also cause wear can they not? (correct me here if necessary)

If you return it to the same specs as before, you won't need to realign. If you do this often, your original spec will "drift" away from where it should be.

It's not too hard to measure toe every now and then. Just use the masking tape and measuring tape trick.
