    Stupid question but need to ask

    So I have a 87 e30 lowered and going threw rear tears like crazy! Yes I know it happens when you lower the car. So on the e30 is there no adjustment for the rear? Don't need to go buy the set they make now or can I do any kind of adjustments to them to save some tire or am I SOL for now? Thanks

          E30's have a decent amount of camber in stock form. The only thing adjustable if stock is the front toe. There are weldable rear camber adjustments you can purchase.


          I go through tires every 12,000 miles, but those are 12,000 miles of full, rock hard chub.

            That is not abnormally low. I am on H&R races and have maybe 15k miles on my tires and a few track days. Even wear all around and tons of life left (320 treadware). I also have a LSD so maybe that helps keep down on ware from one wheel peels, that and I don't drive like a jackass on the road. You shouldn't be going through rear tires that quickly.

              Your trailing arm bushings are likely shot causing excess toe. I'd start by replacing those.

                    Might as well do rear subframe bushings as well.
