So I recently lowered my G on Tein S techs, with a rear camber kit install (no front camber kit). Here are my specs....



In your opinions, is this good enough? Camber on front wheels is out of spec compared to factory; will it lead to premature tire wear?

Also, are the toe specs where they should be?

cheers!

 

Looks great to me! No need to worry about premature tire wear. Toe is the main culprit of that, and 0.05 toe in is right where you want to be.

 

Hmmm... So you think a front camber kit would be overkill at this point?

Also, should I be rotating the front tires, and how often (i.e. every 5k, 10k etc?)?

 

Let me put it this way...I'm dropped low with no camber kit in the front. I'm running -3.5 camber in the front and 0.05 toe in. I have about 15,000 miles on my tires, and they still look good.

A rotation at 10k would be nice.

 

Got any pics of said tires??

 

looks fine to me but generally I would want to run more camber in the rear than in the front just a personal and appearance thing

 

Blnewt, you recommend a front camber kit or should I be okay?

 

If you're running assymetric tires and can rotate side to side that will help somewhat. Running -2 camber w/ good toe will result in decent tread wear, not as good as camber in the -1.4 range but still reasonable. I'd just keep an eye on your tires over the next 5k miles and then reevaluate. If you are running a square setup and can do a full front to back rotation then that would help quite a bit.

 

Here you go sir. I just took this pic this morning.

 

Pretty good I must say, what tires are you running?
Lego Maniac (IIRC) was running camber in the -3s and his Pilots were shot at 5k w/ toe in spec

 

I'm running Toyo Extensa HP, but I plan to run Toyo Proxes 4 Plus next time around. They're rated better in every way...including supposedly being good for 50k miles (which I'll be lucky to get 20k-23k).

I do have a confession. I flipped the my tires with about 5k miles when I switched wheels out. Regardless, the tires would have held up decently.

 

That's funny you mention those tires, I actually had both those previously. The directional Extenzas were OK, not great but for the price not too bad. The Proxes 4 Plus I just replaced since I had a flat in the back (without TPMS) and drove a bit too long and crushed the sidewall. I got about 30k out of them and they still had another 10k I'd guess. My camber is about -1 so even w/ my 295s in back the treadwear was perfect. I'm on Summer Nittos now and am much happier w/ the overall grip, but probably get about 1/2 the life.

 

I am also facing the same issue and I want to get rid of it.
