I had my wheels put on in the spring time along with some Ground Control setup. Afterwards I had an alignment done at firestone ( had the lifetime deal). Car is lowered about 1 finger to 1 1/2

So this past weekend I went to take my summer wheels off and saw this:

The inside front were all worn out. Didnt see anything yet on the rears. Its ok though since the tires were only going to be used for this summer only anyways.


Here is the alignment I got this weekend (all mumbo jumbo to me):


So am I too low or aligment out of wack?

As far as I know, the fronts are cambered like that on purpose for better grip.
I had an alignment done and my set of tires after that wore out the same way but I'm not lowered.

I got my car aligned in spring and I haven't noticed any camber wear at all...and I am lowered about .75 inches in the front

It takes a trained tech to do an alignment on an S simply because everything is adjustible. Most cars only have a toe set availible. With that said you're tires sould not wear that extreme with the numbers they gave you. I've seen this several times from other shops where the tech forgets to tighten something down to spec so by the time you get home everything has moved and you're out of alignment again. I'm not saying that's what happened but its the only thing that makes sense. If you want you can come to my shop and we can do a free alignment check. PM me if interested.

^^^ I Agree.

When I first had my car lowered on coilovers, I had the alignment done right away. In less than 3 month later, I noticed my steering while was off while going straight. *Really bad pull the the left*

Had to get my car realigned.. too bad I didn't have that life time deal at firestone (didn't know about it, till recently).. I ended up doing it through Les.. twice.. and $150 poorer.

im running quite a bit more aggressive camber and i didnt have that much wear after 8k or so miles.

but a few things to take into consideration are the differences between driving habits, tread wear, psi, etc.

i also might try a diff tech, because at that camber, they should of been able to dial in your toe and caster down to spec

You should try the shop that me and Lai went to on Powell and 102* (i think), it's called Mckaliburs or something like that. I took my AP1 there and also my AP2. They charge only 25 per wheel and gets it done in less than 30 minutes! No camber wear at all. =)
