I find it hard not to take corners a little faster than normal with stiff suspension :p
    no warranty?

      When you replace the bushings get the weld in camber and toe kit. I have eccentric adjusters and all new oem bushings and after 10k miles on Dunlop star specs they still have about 60-70% life left. I drive the car fairly hard and spin the tires at least once a week.

            why don't you bring it to an alignment shop instead of guessing? or listen to everyone's random guesses here, 95% of which are likely wrong?

                my guess is worn springs/shocks and perhaps a cracked rear subframe - sloppy bushings is probable, but I'm not sure they would make the rear squat as much to affect the camber....but then again, your camber could have been out of spec too. gotta get it up in the air to inspect

                  Camber isn't the only thing that causes inside wear. Toe will do the same at a much higher rate.
