Default Question about lowered / camber

My 01 S2K is lowered on Tiens... I am getting great use out of my fronts - but my rears are wearing way too quick... so I'm looking to get a camber kit to adjust the rears a little more.

Any suggestions? And do I really need the camber kit?

just go to an alignment shop and get it fixed/adjusted to your settings...

did you ever re align the toe?

thats more important than adjusting camber for tire wear.

Both negative camber and negative or postive toe settings will cause rapid tire wear.

Depending on how low the car is, you may not be able to acheive the stock camber settting in the rear.

If the car was never realigned after it was lowered that the reason for the rapid tire wear. Every time the ride height is changed a 4 wheel alignment needs to be done.
