And that would probably be why my parents have always told me that modding my car was dangerous....they thought my nitrous bottle was gonna make my car explode or something....stupid fast and the furious movies

tell em not to shoot at you with a mac 10 or an uzi and youll be set.


back on topic. for those of you who think you can ignore your camber, ive been lowered only about two months or so and it is already wearing badly on my tires. the toe was pretty good too till i straightened the camber, that threw the toe off so far i couldnt safely drive my car.

rode w/o alignment for a few months as my toe was close enough. after installing the ball joints and straigtening the camber my toe got WAY off, so bad it was unsafe to drive. took it in and they fixed me up. but for those few months that my camber was off but my toe ok it wore the hell outta my tires.

yup... pushing the camber straight after a drop turns the toe out...like penguin feet towards the road --> \ /

Its easiest just to go in and get youre alignment directly after you put on the camber kit (or when you have the shop do it). If you do the washer thing, you should get an alignment right after that too. Just pointing out the obvious Unfortunately some of us are lazy and/or broke.

but my roommates old teg has been on washer rear camber adjustment (h&r sport) for almost four years under normal (agressive to the average person) driving. He hasn't had any problems (related to that anyway, the car's a POS tho)
