I am worried about camber. I had a civic that I put springs in a couple years ago and the wheels were all jacked and the tires wore real fast. Is this an issue with the 3s, or do they have an adjustment for camber. I ended up buying another part for the civic to straighten out the wheels, but only after wearing a set of nice tires out in about 5 months.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I want to do this soon.

Thanks,

Rob

Yes, camber is an issue when you lower the car.

No, there is no factory camber adjustment.

So it might be a good idea to wait.

Maybe I'll hold off for a while ....

If you have some mechanical know-how, you can fix the camber yourself.

If you're just a "get in and drive" kind of person, then you might want to wait.

One thing to remember is not all cars are alike. And camber really is not as bad as they seem to make it. As long as you get the alighment you should be good. To be sure just rotate ya tires alittle sooner. Toe is what kills tires more than camber.
