Camber wear

Hey guys i have ksport coilovers installed in my car and I noticed the other day that the inner part of the tire of the passenger side is wearing out fast. That's the only tire that seems to be wearing out like that. Any solutions to this?

Did you get it aligned? If so, you probably hit something that jarred your alignment adjustment.

If you haven't gotten an alignment you need to, and camber arms and rear toe bolt would be on your to do list if you don't have them already.

Do you have the alignment spec print out? If they were able to get your alignment in spec you shouldn't have that wear pattern.

Nah I don't ima go back and see what they say. I was just wondering if I might have needed camber arms or control arms after coilovers.

With almost 100% certainty you'll need F&R camber kits w/ rear toe bolt kit. I'm sure the alignment shop just maxed out the stock adjusters and called it a day. If you're dropped more than 1.25" you're probably out of spec.
