Ok, here is the problem: I lowered my car with Tein Basics in the summer and I found out today that my 2 front tires are worn (almost bald) on the toe (inner tread), the middle and out tread has tons of meat left. I got my car raised today about 1.5-2" up from before in the front. I got my winter tires installed today and I dont want my winter tires to suffer the same consequences as my summer tires did from inner treadwear, should I go for an alignment and get camber kits even when I raised the car up about an inch or two? Or should I just leave it cuz I raised my car and Im not gonna have inner tread wear problems?

Thanks!

If it's only about 1" wide you need toe adjustment.
But if it's more than an inch you need chamber adjustment.

i guess he's talking about the tire where it's getting bald cause of alignment

ANY time you mess with the suspension you SHOULD get an alignment PERIOD. You shouldnt need a camber kit, especially up front. Get an alignment and if the specs are out of range after that THEN get a camber kit. Then when you lower it in the spring Get another alignment and do the same. Yes its a pain but if your going to be raising and lowering the car its a must. Just because it drives normal doesnt mean that the alignment is fine. Look at your wear, most likely a consequence of toe.

Thanks a lot! I should of took a pic of my tires to show you how bad the toe is worn, my ex-summer setup is left at my mechanic right now, so whenever I go back there I will snap a couple pics to revive this thread.

I will get the alignment done next week, i'll also post the spec for you to see as well.
