i got my new tires on and so far they are much much much better then the FK452's..... My problem is like lots of others my camber is off in the front... im getting -2.0 on both sides.... my rear is within factory spec my car is lowered im pretty positive its the DF210 Springs.... I did a search but i didn't see anything on a camber correction yet.... I don't want these tires to be gone in a year... any suggestions??? im running 245-40-18 RE960 AS tires...

get a good alignment shop that knows how to adjust the toe to help compensate the inside wear

does anyone have an experience with a car with that kind of camber and how fast the RE960AS tires will wear down???

Expect 10-20k miles. Depending on how many times you flip the tires and driving habits. I would expect that bridgestone tire to wear nicely.

I had the DF's up until a few weeks ago. Now with coilovers i'm sitting half an inch lower with 2.6 camber in the front and 3 in the back.

I plan on getting the megan racing control arms like a few other members on here have posted about. Pricing for front/rear looks to be around $500.

I'll hold off on that until I need to buy new tires after this upcoming season finishes.
