If I remember correctly, member turbo8765 is from the SC area and tracks his car, so he may know where to send you as well.

 

Problem is when you go lower then about 1.5" you fall outside of the factory Camber, Toe and caster adjustment headroom and you cant get a spec alignment anymore. You have to be willing to compromise your alignment, which will result in more - camber then you want and less caster. I'm dealing with a similar challenge at 2" drop, but its still reasonable other then a bit more tire wear in the rear then id like for the -3 camber I have have to run because of the maxed out correction from being lowered that amount. You however are well beyond where I am in the front, looks about 3.5" drop and at least 2.5" in the rear. I'm not surprised you have been turned away. You will need front and rear camber and bump steer correction kits to run a decent alignment and doesn't wander all over the road if you hit some road irregularity. I'm certain of it if you want to run that low. Good luck and let us know what these last guys tell you.

 

Okay guys well i am back with the bad news lol. This guy actually knew what he was talking about and said that he cannot align the car simply because my adjustments on the factory lower and upper tie bars are maxed out and that if i wanted to get the car correctly aligned that i would have to invest in aftermarket lower tie bars that have more room for adjustment. He said that i am -2.5 all the way around which is pretty bad and will destroy a set of tires in 6 months or less. Idk what to do at this point. This is my daily and i cannot go on knowing that my tires are being eaten away because i wanted a lower stance.

What would you do in this situation?
Do they even make aftermarket lower tie bars that allow that much more room?

 

That's just the rear right? The front shouldn't be an issue but AP1's might be limited by the toe arm when trying to max out camber and I guess it could be the same for minimizing camber?

They're the first picture, bump steer kits.

No he said it is -2.5 all around including the fronts!

And i do see what youre talking about, me being a noob with this kinda stuff i think the problem now is to find the right "bar" or "strut" or "tie" to help me in this situation hah.

 

I drive daily on -3.5 camber. It's toe that kills tyres not camber in my opinion

 

You are entirely incorrect. Any of the 3 alignment adjustments being out will cause wear. If you are unaware of how the steering and suspension systems function within a car that are multiple websites that you can visit that will explain it to you.

 

Actually, in my experience, he's right. Your toe being off will kill your tires a lot faster than the camber will. Poor toe settings can kill tires in as little as 300 miles if very extreme.

Except he never said toe kills tires faster... He said camber does not kill tires (in his opinion).. Which makes his opinion false

 

Driving on tires kills tires.

Think about it this way, running the correct amount of camber can allow you to get the most life out of them. Running too much or too little will prevent you from getting the most use out of them.

Toe will wear tires due to constantly scrubbing and this scrubbing increases the wear rate drastically depending on the amount of toe in or toe out.
