Okay so i lowered my car this summer and I did not get an allignment nor did I get a camber kit...$$ was really tight

i lowered it on koni yellows w/ the red springs...one piece suspension...i did this for all 4 sides

i did not adjust the ride height before placing them on the car b/c they looked to be the same.....wow was i wrong

my fronts are fine...they are the same height...my rears sit a bit lower and my driver rear sits 4mm lower than my pass rear..no biggie right? yea no biggie expect for the camber wear!!!

I took my summer rims off and one of the tires is bald and the other is almost there....so my question is...would a rear wheel allignment fix this issue or do i need a camber kit?

i now have my winter rims on

dont need a camber kit, just use the washer trick.

is it the inside of your tires that are bald?.. or the full tire is bald??

inside of the tires only...so i know they are leaning inwards...I can see it as well

yeah, your gonna need a camber kit, or do the washer trick I posted above.

where would i get those washers and the longer bolts? Is there a specific thickness to them? in the link provided, Bbarbulo was using the ones provided w/ the camber kit...so I guess I'd have to get the same specs

Brafasco would carry everything.

Home Depot might, same with Canadian tire

^^^ again...I'd need to know the length he used and the thickness of the washer

that.. I dont know..

fingolfin

just message him... or go to a honda shop.. this trick is pretty well known, but you still need an alignment.... putting washers in isn't going to fix the camber

also do it before it wears down your winters, as a bald winter tire is more dangerous than a bald summer tire.

i dont get why people post if they havent gotten a clue.


From my experiences you can re-use your stock bolts. I've stripped a few threads from using brafisco bolts, i now refuse to use them unless im in a shop and have the proper tools to hold the drum assembly.
