went to do the alignment today

got negative camber at -2.0, do i need a camber kit? or i can live with it?

the toe is perfect thou

 

-2.0 will eat up your tires. You definitely need to get a camber kit.

 

its depends on your driving style.... if u love to corner into turns really fast then your tires will wear out faster on the inner side of the tires..... and this is mainly your rear tires.....

but if u don't corner like crazy...you are ok.....

a little bit of negative camber is actually good for your handling on dry pavement... too much negative camber is no good especially if you have thin tires.... wider tires like the BMW X5 have some major negative camber is ok and the handling is amazing.....


IMO... you are fine.... camber kit is not needed.... but i heard you got some nice tires now so it depends if you can afford replacing tires every year or two....

I think cars lowered with some negative camber looks bad ass ......

BTW....I think you should post this in the tires and suspensions forum....

You don't need a camber kit. I've been running -2.0 camber for nearly 2 years without any problems or uneven wear. Out of spec toe is more likely to eat up tires than camber. I just get my car aligned every 6 months and rotate the tires every 5-7K miles.

 

I agree

 

agreed. Toe will kill tires ALOT faster than camber. 0.20 toe will wear out the inside of a tire in a matter of a year or less

 

I don't know, guys. I ran without a camber kit after installing my Tein SS for about 3 weeks or so.

The toe wasn't so bad, but I had approximately 2-3 degrees of negative camber.

The end result after running for 3 weeks like that? Hey, look for yourself.



I thought it was my camber kit hitting the tire, but it wasn't. It was all an alignment issue. I understand that toe has the potential to eat up the tires quicker than camber. But camber is bad enough as it is. I was shitting myself crossing the border with those tires for Sam. I just don't want to see them getting wasted.

 

those tires were shot to begin with. they look like tires you would see on a F1 car

 

Yeah, they were worn out. But the edge shouldn't look like that.
