Factory Lowered with Camber wear on all 4 tires ?? Do i need a camber kit?
Any one get the factory lowering (eibach springs) and then have uneven tire wear (Camber wear) ???
All 4 tires are going bald on the insides.. all evenly
Lexus told me it was an alignment issue but when i took it to a local tire shop the guy said it was a Camber adjustment and that a camber kit should of been installed and the adjustment can't be made with out the kit..
So what i am asking is has any one else had this issue.. and is it true that a camber kit should of been installed? If so imma go after lexus for the tire costs.... any help would be great thanks..

toe will wear your tires worst than camber. I've got -2.1 front and -2.5 rear camber with perfect toe and my wear is not that bad. You just have to keep an eye on it and get the tires flipped before you wear it down to belt or cause nipples in the side wall.
and Damn phil888, you flipping every 3k miles? Thats seems like a waste of money seeing as it cost at least $20 per wheel to get it dismounted and remounted and not to mention the bead stretch you put those tires through.

He is probably reffering to a F-Sport equipped car off the lot. SInce the F-Sport springs are most likely made by Eibach. For those that have the F-Sport or Eibach drop aqnd DO NOT have camber wear, can you please post your alignment specs for toe and camber after lowering? I know you cannot adjust camber, but what toe setting range works best with the 1" drop?

What are you running for toe f/r? I've got a fair bit of tramlining and I would like to be able to suggest a target for them to help square things up.
