does anyone has outside wear on front tires
About 2 month ago I lowered my car with Bilstein Sport shocks and Eibach Pro spring and have 18" wheels installed. I also have the alighment done at the same shop. Now my front tires wore on the outside. I followed some of the threads here and it seemed to indicate that I should have problem with inside front tire wear, but not outside front tire wear. Does this mean I need to bring the car back to the shop for reallignment.? Does anyone has the same problem? How did you fix it? I really appreciate your response.
Has Daizen camber kits available on the market? I don't want to spend money every year on tires. Man, these big tires are expensive .

Wear on the outside of the fronts indicates one of several things:
1) You don't have enough negative camber (either you have positive camber and you get this from normal driving, or you have normal alignment and get this from hard cornering).
2) You have excessive toe-out: in this case, just the very outer edge of the tire should wear.
3) You had several instances of severe understeer (like entering a tight corner in the wrong gear) that shaved the tires off by pushing most of the car's weight on the front outside wheel.
Let us know which one you suspect.
