#13650, "Another victim of rear camber..."




          

Looks like I toed out after i put on the Sportlines, as I didn't really pay much attention to my rear tires until today as I was driving home and felt a thumping, so i went home and sure enough the entire inside of my rear tire was destroyed, huge hole. Threads were showing. I just bought those tires 3 months ago!! I guess that's what happens when you neglect the rear of your car

Now I have one slick tire and one tire with a hole in it.
What kit do you guys suggest to correct rear camber, i searched up on it and found a few people prefer Ingall's kit but i can't find where to buy them. Anyone wanna steer me in the right direction? (pun intended).

BTW i had alignment done, my front tires are doing fine, i thought they did a 4-wheel..they might have, i'm not for sure.

damn, i never noticed it before, but I can really tell your rear camber is off just by your pics...

I've seen a $15 camber mod link, either check the main page or do a search

LOL, my back tires seriously look like indy slicks.
I think it mentions on there that it's not meant for serious drop
i could be wrong though.

when I had sportlines, the front was always fine. I now have prokit- still good. I did the RRE kit, which is bolts and spacers. Could have done it a lot cheaper myself, but I wanted to make certain I got the right parts. Get some longer bolts and some spacers to move the control arms out some and then get it lined up. Should do justa s good as a $200 kit. My tire wear is normal now. I've had the same tires for a long time. Check the $15 camber mod on the main page. You just may need longer bolts and a few more spacers. The alignment shop told me with the RRE kit, that I coulda used an extra spacer for each bolt probably. I raised it to pro kits tho. Anyhow, long post. Hope this helps.

Hmmm, I was wondering about this. I also have Sportlines and I only have one of those NAPA rear camber kits and it works fine. But my fronts are kinda out of spec, like its at -1.2 on the right and -0.9 on the left. Now, I recently rotated my tires and the insides of my right front is starting to wear faster than all the other tires. So, I was wondering what u guys did to ur front camber. I only put on the RRE front camber kit, which is good for the prokits, like about a degree of correction. Mine was still out of spec tho. So, any other camber kits out there and how much are they? I don't wanna burn through tires every now and then. But so far, I've had the tires for 10K miles and they're still looking good. The tires have been on the drop for around 8K miles or so.

the rre kit needed more spacers according to my alignment shop. (for sportlines) It didn't wear badly or anything tho. After pro kits, it's pretty much perfect.

There are some Ingall's for sale on www.groupbuycenter.com for descent price. Check out www.mofugus.com a new product shown in the new Import Tuner. Looks like those mofugus are only made for our cars.
