    ...... that is the dumbest thing i have ever read.
    You do know what NEGATIVE camber means right?

    If you lower your car lets say 2inches and you have -3 Camber, no going to get an aligmnment DOESNT FIX THAT if you dont have adjustable ball joints.

    So if you lower your car on the ground with NO "CAMBER KIT" and alignment does you JACK SHIT, NOTHING. -3 camber before you go in, -3 after. You might be able to adjust the TOE with the tie rods, thats it.

    You have adjustable camber kit, then you bring that -3 back to 0 with the adjustable ball joint.


    What im saying is, you said eating tires is all about the alignment, i said that an alignment doesnt mean SHIT without adjusting the camber.

    Make sense?

    CLIFFS:
    LOWER YOUR CAR , GET NEGATIVE CAMBER
    ALIGNMENT WONT FIX NEGATIVE CAMBER WITHOUT ADJUSTABLE BALL JOINTS


    your original statement was misleading, i think we are saying the same thing in a different way

    Wait. But you just said that i HAD -3, and I went to get an alignment and suddenly had 0 camber, and that's why I didn't go through tires. But you can't adjust camber without adjustable ball joints? So exactly HOW did I not go through tires if I still had camber if camber is the only culprit??

    Lowering a car doesnt just affect camber. It affects toe as well, which wears tires MUCH quicker than camber does.
