hehehe i had the sprint camber kit for like 7 months...I still have it in the rear...I replaced with Ingalls front kit and people told me the Sprint Kit made the car ride shitty? Didn't make that much of a big difference maybe a little bit. I still hear creaking, squeakin and every day noise.

Im a little confused what ur saying? How did the tire pop? It got real worn down?

Did your tire just wear down real bad? If it did it's not sprints fault...You gotta keep it all in spec...Just because it looks straight doesn't necessarily mean its good alignment maybe camber but the toe could be off. Hitting a bad bump can offset the camber kit. "and it sounds like a big whole behind my tire" what ya mean? And if they wore down, You never look at tire? Tires dont get bald in a day.

even if your camber is perfect, a bad alignment can fuck tires up even worse than camber.

Id also try and get a set of neo gens by nitto they mite hold up a little better esp if you live around an area where theres shitty roads where your alignment could be thrown off with everyday driving. The inside tread is made of a different compound to slow down wear due to neagtive camber.

whoa Neo Gen's are better for negative camber? I always see them advertised on the back of every magazine and they actually have my size I dont see them say anything about inner compound? U jus saying this, or do they advertise that?

i doubt it was the camber kit that screwed up your car.

i have personally seen all of the different companies and there really isnt much of a difference between the products. there are different types like ball joints and adj ball joints etc, but the quality is about the same.

did you get a 4 wheel alignment after they were installed?
