    How bad is your Camber

    well mine is pretty damn bad, and what sucks the most is that i have Dunlop SP 9000's which were $200 each, tire wear sucks ass, but i guess that's what happens when your LOW

    not bad anymore. About 2.5 both. It was higher on the back but its leveled out since I did the bushings.

    I was also running 9000s but I got pretty even tire wear since I tracked them often. Feathering looked like crap tho...

    I dont understand why youd waste your money on them. One of thier grat features is the beefed sidewall and the rib that protects your wheels.
    Im now E30less.

      I have 3deg front and rear. I have perfect tire wear -- even across the tire.

        -3 degrees up front. Tire wear too is about perfect(except for when one corner had -3.5) rear I think is -2.5 or something

            It basically is done, I'm not doing ny major body mods to it the only thing I ahve planned is plastic front bumpers. I just took that pick when I was fixing the oil cooler mountint and removing the ac core.

              I run about 3.8 degrees in the rear with my 245's...
              front is around 2 degrees, but soon to be around 2.5 once I install these offset bushings...

                        If you haven't added adjustable camber plates, you're attempts at changing camber won't work very well. You're likely just upsetting the alignment somewhere.

                          May I ask why you are running sp9000's? besides the better looking tread design, they got the same traction ratings in some aspects, and worse in others, than the SP8000's.
                          and the 8000's are cheaper..
                          I have run both and I find that the 8000's have a more predictable adhesion. IMO.
                          I am switching to Falken's, cause I am burning through tires, and they are cheap as shit.

                          Front camber 2.5-->rear 3.0

                            for me the SP9000's are the best tires on teh market along with the Pirelli P-Zero Nero's
