So I installed my coils, spacers and rear camber kit at 7100mi and am just about to hit 12k when I noticed some inner rear tire wear. I know you have to pay to play but should the inner rears wear so much even with a rear camber kit? Is the rear SPC doing what it should? I didn't think it was that low...I can get a finger between the tire and fender. Is that considered too low? I'm just curious how much life everyone else is getting with a similar setup. Boy negative camber sucks! Any thoughts from you guys/gals? Thanks bunches!

I JUST saw this and I don't know if you mean Admin, or Amin, (I am Andrew Amin, LOL)

Drop wise, you're not too low. Is your current camber kit adjustable?

And is it possible that your first 5k miles did the majority of the wear?
I'm 100% stock suspension wise and at 13k miles I just noticed how bad the camber wear is, I have 3-4/32nds on the inside and 6-7/32nds on the outside.
AND I get my alignment done every 5k miles, AND I tell them to make it as straight as possible

I'm 100% stock suspension wise and at 16k miles I just noticed how bad the camber wear is, I have 3-4/32nds on the inside and 6-7/32nds on the outside.

When I got my alignment the guy told me that he squeezed as much out of the rear camber he could (so I assume my SPC rear camber kit is adjustable). And I guess I didnt take into consideration the first few thousand miles because I drove it like I stole and no VDC ALOT! So maybe that and the negative camber is about right with the wear. Just trying to gauge others wear...my slippery light on the dash flashes alot too

How are you wearing like that on stock suspension? Weird!

LMAO!!!

Well, I believe stock camber settings are at 1.5-2 degrees of camber, which is great if you track and such, but I'm still a student, and I DD the damn thing, lol
