Was you not the guy asking a few weeks back complaining of bad tyre wear, and admitted you set your camber by eye.... and it was miles out.

somethings been assembled badly or adjusted out of synch.
lowering will dial in -ve camber not +ve, so if you have +ve then the hubs need to be adjusted for camber, then tracking down afterwards. If you have adjusted the camber after tracking, the tracking will be wrong.

yup yup... when i changed the suspension on my car i had to get camber and tracking done... cost me about £70 all together though which is not too bad.

my old man got his tyres changed but the tracking was not done... managed to wear through a set of fronts in just over 400 miles because they where doing this.

/--\ <- fronts
|--| <- rears

a sily mistake makes tyres wear like crazy.

eibach list them, but have you exhausted the camber adjustment you already have, is the real question you need to answer
