about 3 1/2 yrs worth of camber wear with my Eibach PK's. Worn all the way through.



This is how I'm going to be rolling for a while.

Haha still looks good!

Stupid question, but is that with an alignment? The eibachs go even lower after a while may be good to check your alignment

No. That does not look good.
Flip em like every 3 months or so if you have directional tires and I guess if you daily the car.

Dude I hope your tires pop! why would you drive around like that??? if I was a cop I pull you over and give a fat ticket! it's people like you who drive down there tires until it's too dangerous to ride on and then it pops and you crash into someone or something!

Dude! chill the F. out! I didn't even know my tires were like that until my TPMS light turned on. I wouldnt have driven around like that if I KNEW it was that bad. The picture I posted was my front driver side and it is in significantly worst shape than the passenger side. Could be that my toe is out of wack?

I had an alignment done after a month of installing the springs. Yes, must've settled in some more after that. I will get an alignment done after I get new tires.

Will do, but probably every 6 mos.

Probably about 27-30K miles.

explain more about the scalloping. I doubt my S/S are blown. Feels fine with the OEM 19's up front.

Apart from toe if not in spec, out of spec camber leads to quicker wear. For those in the negative camber aka stance life this comes with the territory but it does take monitoring to know when to flip em based on driving duration.

Would a camber kit prevent this from happening?
