yea go a head and rotate those tires that way you can make sure they all wear out in exactly the same place and same way, but hey who needs a camber kit. Well that is unless you like you tires to all look like this.

This is properly aligned with no camber kit, this is what will happen to your tires over time

Those pics are from a camber prob?? Or did you have some rubbing from a clearance problem? How much drop was that, and what car? That is exactly what I don't want to have happen.

that is from a camber issue from my 89 hatchback the red one in my sig. this is cause from me have a 4" drop on skunk2 coilovers. I have a full camber kit front and rear i just have to put it on and then adjust the camber and it will solve the problem. And i have NO clearance issues i can go full lock to lock on the steering wheel with no rubbing.

here are a cpl pics of the drop and camber so you have a idea

I still don't know, 2 inches from stock isnt that much drop. I just don't want to spend that much $ , it defeats the purpose of a cheap DD. But I also don't want to go throught tires twice as fast. I guess it might have to wait till after a clutch replacement that is in my future.

I dont think 2 inch will hurt but I could be wrong man. GL

If its your DD why are you lowering it. Cough up the money on the camber kit and stop trying to cheap out on it.

Make a choice:
-Buy camber kit to use tires to the fullest trea
or
-Dont buy a camber kit. Replace the tires twice in the same mileage if you would have bought the kit.

Its more of a upfront cost but saves money in the end.
