Default Eibach springs vs tire wear

To those of you who installed the Eibach lowering springs, how have your tires been wearing? Has tire wear evened out across the entire surface or do you still get more wear on the outer edge?

Can someone tell me who makes the camber adj kit for our cars? I thought there was a company in Australia that made them?

Thumbs up Re: Eibach springs vs tire wear

my first set of conti all seasons lasted over 25k (lowered at 1k)... and i had even wear across the entire tread... front & rear... with no camber adjustment components installed.

You should really get your suspension realigned whenever you change anything.
i.e get a four wheel alignment.
This ensures everything is running straight.

Andrew, I wondered how your tires were wearing ever since I followed you back to Ohio on the Turn Pike last summer.
Your IRS did indeed seem to have more "negative" camber to it than my stock one does. I just attributed it to your use of "spacers".
Glad to hear it hasn't caused you any increased tire wear.

i now have added 8k miles to the tires since last july... no inside wear on the rears... but indeed quite a bit of negative camber. however...the negative camber is the same with or without the spacers.

Wow, I'm not going to get anywhere near that many miles on my original all season tires. I don't go around "burning" em up either, and I always keep them properly inflated also.
They are wearing evenly though.
