get...an alignment... any height changes with coils or springs.. alignment.

One month without alignment after putting in Coilovers is plain stupid!

Now you pay double, first for the alignment, and then for the new set of tires.

Those tires were already worn down to the indicators. They needed to be replaced anyway. He's probably sliding all over the road with them like that. Mine are almost to the indicators, and they are slippery as owl shit.

Funny thing is I tried to get an alignment but the same dealership that rotated my wheels and didn't inform me of the issue said they could not get my car on the alignment rack.

I put it off until I saw this and its gonna cost me a good chunk of change.

I just ordered new tires and LCA and have an alignment at a real shop scheduled! Thanks for the help everyone!

Holy cow, yeah run far away of those jackasses. If any mechanics say they can't do an alignment for any reason, other than lack of parts look somewhere else.

I have a few stories a few shops told me over the years. The one they always use is its too low. I always call their bullshit cause they work on corvettes all the time. And those mofos are lower than our cars.

This is NOT just from camber wear, my stock tires did the same thing so maybe its a common problem? Definitely make sure your toe is zero'd out when you go for an alignment. Camber wear just wears them down more it doesn't make them chunk up like this just google camber wear, -3 degrees isn't too aggressive especially in the front.
Do you have the same problem in the front or on the other front tire?
