Are you on stock camber adjustment? How low are you vs stock? Have you gotten an alignment?
if you are outside the stock adjustment range, try the spc camber kit or FIGS arms. They're hot fire.

After you installed them on the car did you get an alignment though? If you don't get an alignment after you do suspension components, and your Toe is off it will chew up tires REALLY quickly.



Trust me.... Back in the day, brand new Bridgestone Potenzas 225/45/18, One Month of driving........ POOF Gone.

1.8 inches shouldn't change camber that much to a point where it is ruining your tires..now 4-6 inches..then we have something here..when u got ur alignment, did they give u a spec sheet?
