Default Inner Tire Wear

Hi everyone, I know there's a lot of posts about this already but as I was reading I confused myself even more. I have about 8000 miles on my bridgestones and I think in about another 1000 miles the tires are gone, so I want to prevent that from happening again by fixing the camber? What is the cheapest solution to setting the camber to 0, or as close to 0. I have KW v3's and they're dropped pretty low so the cars camber is even more negative. Can I just buy the toe link and im good to go? thanks guys.

You can flip the front tires and drive for another 8000 miles before you replace them. But eventually, you'll need the camber balljoints to prevent the inner wear.

Why not go positive camber? Really, all this leaning the wheel inward to help front end traction is a waste of time. Just set it up like a Conestoga wagon with lots of positive camber and all your problems will be solved.






Oh, forgot to mention. You'll still have inner edge wear issues. But since so many here seem to be convinced this is a camber problem I really think someone needs to try this. No, it won't be me.
