Default Camber adjustment

Hey guys,

In need of a negative camber adjustment. What’s the best approach? Currently my wear pattern is tearing up the medial/inner portion of my rear tires only. Going to need new tires and possible camber kit?

Any and all advise is appreciated


Current set up is 19 inch lowered on RSR springs/coils. Rub slightly on good dips in the road.

Megan and SPC offer rear camber arms. I went with Megan because I bought their front A-arms as well....

Misaligned Toe eats tire faster than misaligned camber

Which would just be fixed with adjustment of alignment correct?

Correct, toe adjustment can just be corrected with factory adjusting points unless you have extreme suspension modes which it doesn't sound like you do.

Have you ever gotten an alignment after lowering the car?

Yes sir. Got the car aligned immediately after lowering. The again after rims. And a 3rd time after TpMS sensors gave out. Car pulled a little to the right before third adjustment. I need new rear tires at this point. I’ll post pics of the tread wear but should I just start with realignment before going with rear arms?
