This is what happens when you keep putting off your camber install (Pics)
well boys I learned the hard way........I have progress springs and the drop is 2 in the rear. As we all know with anything over a 1.75 drop a camber kit is recommended. I've had the camber kit sitting in my room since i dropped the car. I was gonna install it an I kept putting it off. I guess I learned the hard way
Results of no Camber kit
I guess I will put it on now right
At least I didn't bend my Velox's

daaamn...im glad im waiting for camber to install my springs.
did you damage the wheels at all? its hard to see from the photo.
3000 miles is nothing...thats some pretty crappy tires. altho the streets in NY arent the best either.

No wonder..you had Nangkangs.
In simple words, the WORST.
Thank Goodness I ran Nittos when i had rims! Anyway, never buy nangkangs again. If you are feeling cheap, Kumhos Ecsta will do the work.

ya nangkangs suck, my friends only lasted 10k miles and his car is stock. its better to spend the extra $100 and get better tires.. mine have a 30-50k mile warranty

Rep Power: 0 noooo i have nankangs LOL, the s200 guys gave it a thumbs up! lol i guess im gonna have check my tires every 1000 miles to make sure they are still ok, then get some yokohamas after that. boooo nankang LOL, sucks man the same thing happened to my friends MBZ and he had kumho ecsta.
hey, how bad a camber did your wheels sit on?
My front wheels seem nice and straight, but there's something odd about my rear wheels. I noticed it back in the day even, when I still had stockies. They don't stick out much, only about 1/2 an inch more than they should (see pic for better translation).
Should I get a camber kit for this little camber? I never had problems with my tires, cept that 2 of them were stabbed recently, but that was human-caused, not accident or error-caused.

Rep Power: 0 CAMBER
Viewed from in front of the vehicle, camber describes tilt of the tire from vertical. A tire has negative camber when its top inclines toward the vehicle. Positive camber occurs when its top tilts away from the vehicle. Camber is measured in degrees, and varies by car model and year. A wheel's camber angle should be adjusted to maximize a tire's contact with the road's surface under given loaded cornering conditions. Because a tire's camber changes slightly as its suspension moves during travel, the static angle at which the camber is set will depend on driving habits. If a driving style entails hard cornering, outside tires (heavily loaded) will need to have a statically set negative camber. If driving is on highways where tires are mainly subjected to lightly loaded cornering conditions, the static camber setting should be zero or slightly positive. Camber plays a large role in determining both the overall handling feel of a vehicle and how a tire wears across its treadface. A tire wears most at the point(s) where the majority of the vehicle's load rests. A properly set camber maximizes a tire's contact patch, leading to even wear. Excessive negative or positive camber has an adverse effect on treadlife by causing premature outer or inner shoulder wear.
Thats from that website................I didn't write all that
