Camber after lowering 01 LS430 on Megan EZ's
These are my results from wheel alignment after I lowered my car on Megan EZ street coilovers...
The guy at shop who did my alignment says my tires will last maybe another 2-3months. Tires have 60-70% tread left. He suggested aftermarket Casters for front and adjustable camber for rear. Toe arm, I'm not exactly sure.
What I want to know is if any of u guys have dealt with camber... Will the degrees of negative camber I have really kill my tires? Bc it isn't much camber but IT IS camber.
If so, what parts will I need to purchase to straighten out the camber?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!! Thanks! (:

First of all, thanks for your response!
Ok so I have .06 Toe in front and .15/.16 Toe in rear. What do I need to do to Zero out the Total Toe?
Would u say the Toe I have in front and rear is ok and all I have to do is monitor my tire tread?

well what i meant by zero out was directly in the middle where the correct specs is suppose to be at. your toe is actually spot on cept the rear passenger which is just .01 off. but that will not make a huge difference at all. you'll be fine for a couple months, just check them bi weekly so you monitor when to flip your tires.

ask the shop for the stock spec of the alignment of yur LS and if yur within spec its ok. mine is lowered with barely half inch gap and its been 8 to 10 months (not sure could be longer) and my tires still looks 80 to 90% and i have the tires close to 1.5years. the wear is pretty even. i have michelin 245front 275rear on z40 if that helps.

So since my toe is basically spot on, I am not worried much about that.
My only concern now is what aftermarket parts I can buy to even out camber in front and rear? Even though I'm not that far off spec, I am curious to know exactly what part or parts it is that actually adjusts camber in front and rear. Please advise.

For our cars you are limited to a handfull of brands that make parts. Fronts you have nagisa, t-demand, 326power and moonface. Rears you have megan, nagisa, t-demand, 326power, figs, and moonface. Only problem is besides megan the cost for the parts are quite expensive.
