I didnt realize how bad the camber was till i took my rear tires off and found this.... I was going to finally get my F sport Sway bar set but it looks like ill be doing some early christmas shopping upgrading my rear suspension components. What does everyone recommend for the rear to correct this issue. Camber, toe, caster?? And for the front i hear everyone does the FIGS lower control arm rear bushing to eliminate the toe in while braking.

Not saying you need all of these. Just providing some links to products you can use to fix the situation.

The tire wear there appears to be greatest in the center and on the inner edge. What PSI do you inflate the tires too?

Did you ever get an alignment after the spring install? I would recommend new tires of course, install those sway bars, and then immediately get an alignment. Your drop on springs isn't great enough to seriously warrant the use for a camber arm. The alignment will get you back in check without spending some unnecessary $$$ on additional components you don't need RIGHT NOW.

I wonder if I go on coils with ride height similar to lower springs (no slam, no VIP), do I need these camber, toe kits??

Also, what is the Fig kit that prevent inner tire wear due to toe changing in corning that some people were talking about in the past?

If you get an alignment afterward and you're not slammed, don't worry about additional components. The funds you would spend on the arms/etc can be put into the alignment itself.

make a long story short. Got a nail in this tire two weeks ago. Found the tire very low as i got to work that day plugged it and had to inflate it with the pump at work which has no gauge.(work is a but of a drive) Also with the south Florida weather up and down every day. One day we will be in the 80's then the next day in the 50's tire pressures are fluctuating.
Anyways i would like to get the camber to 0 regardless. I put my other wheels on the car today and i want to ride on those tires as long as possible. Out of all the parts listed above which one or all do i need to fix issue for the rear? Alignment alone wont fix camber. Right? For the front i hear that the toe can be adjusted from factory and i will be purchasing FIGS lower control arm rear bushing

This is what you need. If you shop around you can find them in blue.

You are thinking of these:

They reduce the dynamic toe changes on the front of the car and have been shown to reduce the inner tire wear.
Contrary to popular belief toe wears tires WAY more than camber.

WylieKylie, which one above do I need? Why are they so different in price?

From my understanding, the toe changes only during cornering right and that only affects the front tires so we don't need a set for the rear?

They are the same thing. The more expensive set is installed in OEM brackets making installation a pretty simple nuts-and-bolts affair. The cheaper set have to be pressed into the brackets (after removing the old bushings) and then installed.

There is nothing like this for the rear of the car, but it doesn't suffer from toe changes like the front. The worst condition for toe changing is cornering and braking at the same time.

Thank for the clarification. I would get the lower price set then.

Lol, that is exactly what I do in cornering. Trail brake so the weight is shifted upfront to reduce understeering. No wonder my stock tires have so much inner wear before.

does the 2008 IS RWD come with adjustable toe or camber for the front or the rear?
