Re: Bad Camber Wear

It's all in the toe correction. If your tires are worn out after 3k miles from just -3 camber, you definitely need an alignment.

Re: Bad Camber Wear

OTG was suggested to me by a fellow club member because they reduce the tire wear that you'd traditionally experience with -3 camber, so if I ever add -3 to my B, it's gonna be OTG. His suspension is beyond top-notch in my opinion.

Here's his B

Re: Bad Camber Wear

-5 garson shims, on a 17 x 9.. not quite sure how many miles it went through, probably 7k-10k miles would be my best guess.. I wish I would've flipped the tires.. shit happens

Re: Bad Camber Wear

Check dancars thread in the suspension forum. It's titled GI:camber shims for sale or something like that.

wow didnt know anyone was talking about the camber I am having made
they will have toe correction. but they will be made right from the JDM shims I am copying them from. the sad thing is you will still have tire wear cause you are adding negative camber to the situation. mine are in the process of being made so keep an eye out.............bBsquad what what!!!!
