What are you lowered on?

What are you lowered on?

Wasnt gonna say cause it should be close to the same geometry no matter what springs you are lowered on. I will say I didnt do an alignment after install cause I knew the camber was in a bit and theres really nothing that can be done about it without camber plates or bolts. They werent out when I installed.

Are both tires like that? I assume those are the fronts?

That's your toe causing that. Camber won't cause it to wear down that fast.

I was thinking the same thing.

When I lowered mine my front toe was off quite a bit.

I can't imagine driving around without doing an alignment after lowering the car.

I used to run -4 degrees of camber on my Jetta and as long as the toe was in spec the tires wouldn't wear any faster.

Yup, with my Pro-Kit toe was out of spec when we put it on the rack.

Big +1

Toe is what kills tires and it bugs me when people lower and don't do an alignment or think they need to worry about camber and completely ignore toe.

Whats bad is I have all the Longacre alignment measuring tools sitting in my garage.
