My tire hungry car likes to chew-up tires alot! How do I put it on a diet?
So H&R sports and tokico blues have helped my car develop a very high appetite for the poor Ecsta 712s. (195/50/15)
The car chews the tires the way a lion helps its self with a rabbit and man, I was shocked to see the tires are bald on one edge (inside obviously) and brand new on the outside edge!!
The other problems I have are "Tracking", a messed-up alignment, and a bad driving style which includes very sharp and fast cornering, which is obviously developed by higher handling limits than stock.
So I did some research here and it looks like I need a front camber kit and the washers trick for the rears, followed by an alignment.
Now I want to know if there are different front camber kits out there and which ones, NOT to buy. Also, does a front chamber kit push the tire out on the top or pull the bottom in? I'm concerned about rubbing...
Having my tires half bald from group-A style camber, will the half chewed-up tires affect the alignment?
Thanks for your comment.

If you are only lowered on HR sports you prolly only need an alignment. What is the drop on them? 1.5 or so? I run on a 1.8 drop and i have little to no camber problems. Just go get an a shop to align it and make sure they do the caster and toe.

So an alignment will do?
My front wheels are having maybe 8 degrees of -ve chamber, and rears are probably 5 degrees!! Its bad trust me! Car looks like a Group-A spec car!! Looks so bad-***, but kills the tires with-in weeks!

Get an alignment, my shop told me to drive the car for 2 weeks and bring it back for an alignment. If it doesnt help, get a camber kit. If that doesnt help, stop driving like a nutcase man.

Oh they lowered it and suggested to do the alignment after 2 weeks you mean?
I'm gonna take it to the shop tomorrow and get it aligned. I hope that would fit the problem. I don't feel like doing suspension work anytime soon...
