    Camber adjustment

    Question.. Ever since I lowered my car the negative camber has been eating my tires. So I'm looking at adjustable camber arms from tms but they're $300. I also found a set of white line adjustable camber bushings for. $100. Do you guys think the bushings will suffice instead of buying the whole arms?

    it's not the camber that eats tires, it's the toe. did you get an alignment after lowering? that's always recommended when you change the suspension geometry

    +1 get an alignment first, and you could ask them to zero the camber as much as possible as well.

    But more on topic, I'd get the adjustable arms instead of bushings... just because I've never heard of adjustable bushings, and I'd be weary of something that I've never heard of.

    True. Although I thought the stock arms could not be adjusted?

    it can, but it doesn't have that much adjustment. it's not going to be 0, probably closer to like -2 (which is like stock settings) or something like that for the rear. in the fronts, you can't adjust camber at all without knocking out the alignment pins on the top hat.

    Eating them in what way? If it's inner wear, that's camber, but these cars are set up that way, so it's normal. You can "zero it out" some to lessen inner tire wear.

    Yes inner wear, but really bad ever since I lowered it. Right on the edge of the tire. I went ahead and ordered the TMS adjustable rear arms

    Nice. Lowering will intorduce some excessive camber and arms will take care of that.
