    So supposing he waits 4.5-5.5k between oil changes, he should get an oil change, wait 1500 miles and go back for a tire rotation? Seems like a hassle.

    And camber wear isn't supposed to be an issue which is exactly why he is asking if he should get a camber kit. Tire rotation isn't meant to even out tire wear due to toe and camber, but because tires don't wear evenly due to which wheels are driven.

    Them idoits in Kauffman tire are the worst man. Don't listen to any of them.

    I had some new tires and alignment done on a '03 accord stock and the tires wear out quick with a feather edge on them. Took it back to them and they said the the speed rating on it is what is causing it to do that plus not rotating.

    I have staggered wheels on another car and never rotate them and you don't see any feather edge wear on them....then I have lower speed rating tires on the Civic hatch before and don't see any feather edge wear.

    Take it to someone that knows how to work on a car and not someone telling you that you cannot lower a car with springs.

    Oh yeah the reason why these companies give free rotations is because when you bring it back to them they will give you the so called free inspection and then tell you that you need this and that when you don't.
    EK needs a new tune? baby needs more boost so a good tuner is needed....anyone?
