Default DAMN CRX CAMBER PROBLEMS!!!

ok so i got the one problem that everyone hates the most....bullshit camber issues on my 91 crx si!. i literlly will run through a brand new set of front tires in about 3 months daily driving with occasional racing but no burnouts! its only in the front though and the inside wears super quick but the outside is almost untouched i got kyb shocks and cheap coilovers with about a 2-2.5 drop (not crazy slammed) what damn camber kit is good for a cheap price? are those cheap *** ebay ones worth it/any good i see other crx's slammed to the ground w/o this problem? is it just my car? i mean my crx is almost mint!! why this problem any suggestions.....

your toe is out

your camber will wear your ires but not that bad with your drop. You have a problem with a bad part up front or you just need a alignment to fix the toe

W3RD. get teh cheap non adjustable camber kit so you dont confuse the techs at the align shop. i told them i put a camber kit it and they freaked out. i cam back and talk to another guy, didnt mention the kit and they aligned it. its similar to this

his problem isnt camber
that little camber offset is going to wear his tires very slow. the reason he is wearing tires so fast is because he is amplifying the friction put onto the tire edge because of the TOE. Once the toe is fixed he will be fine. I do alignments everyday.

Check Toe teh OG way, run a string around it and see whats up.

It's easy. Here are some pics from the link...




This shows toe-out. You'll want to adjust to zero toe for max tire wear.
