    Strange what your tire wear is doing. Sounds like you have some bushings wore out if you are in specs.


    EDIT ..... You did not have a rear bumper 6 months ago why start now ???
    Nah its cool man, I knew you werent but it might come eventually from other members. That was my first run. And the first thoughts were "holy shit, this is why i lowered my car and did suspension mods" Because you could defintly tell it was worth it. I was just learning the reigns.

    Im just too lazy to mod the rear plastic. I have it but im going to need a rear valance to accompany it.

    Eli: im not sure man, I need one of you guys to help me figure that out. Because the alignment shop said its within spec except for the camber.

    What bushings have not been replaced. Because a dead bushing in some locations could mean on the rack it is in spec... Hit a bump. out of spec, hit a bump back in spec :)


    Also... just getting the lines into "the green" on an alignment rack doesn't mean crap in the real world. None of the specs are inside the green on my track car and it doesn't kill tires and handles like a shifter cart!

    I took it to the alignment shop up the road and its pefect. except for "youve got a hell of alot of camber son";) But they arent eaten on just the inside, but all the way accross evenly:?
    Camber by itself will not run a tire bald that fast....

    Have your alignment specs?

    My buddy got a full auto-x season AND 3 HPDEs out of a set of Hankook RS2s(similar to your Falkens)

    ya something is up. What are your toe angles like? Heck last time I ran my r-comps, and only wore the built up rubber off them.
