I thought i posted this here but i can't find it, so i'm sorry if this is a repost... but whenever i look at my car from behind, the tires seem to look crooked... like this / \ ... Do i need new axles? or will a suspension upgrade fix this? i planned on getting new suspension anyways. does anyone know any good brands for springs and struts that give a smooth ride, but wont lower my car? everywhere i look, suspension setups are all for lowering my car and i dont care too much for all that. Also is there a way to put limited slip on this car (2002 MP5) And if i do put limited slip will i need new axles anyways? Thanks all.

The tires are supposed to look like that to an extent. You can always get the alignment checked just to make sure, but go to a reputable alignment shop. I went to Firestone and they wanted to charge me extra to do the front. They also said that the rear ones were WAY out of alignment and that they couldn't be moved. I went to a shop and they said they were within spec but that one of my tires was bad. Go figure. Got 2 new tires, got the alignment, haven't had a problem since. Ofcourse I'll be installing new struts so I'll need another alignment. I'm definitely going back to that place.
