Hehehe.. tell that to the multiple sets of tires I went through and the current set on the rear of my bimmer with -2.8 deg camber.

Toe is set 1/8" in so to zero out at speed. Yes my car is aligned. The simple fact is that the inner tread has more contact, generating more scrub on the surface which in turn generates more heat which in turn accelerates wear.


That being said, your camber alignment wont be too unbearable with the 2.25-2.5 inch sprint drop.

Ask deek about the sprint extremes that I let him borrow. :exnbp:

3" and quarter coil cut off.(like a 3.5 inch drop) That's how we do in so cal. (I think this was back in like 1999 too )
