That's exactly correct. If your inner tire was rubbing something you would hear it and you could see matks on something that it's rubbing against. That is caused by a very bad toe setting. How do you expect to run coilovers set very low with no alignment correction and have your tires wear evenly? It's not going to happen. Do it right and get the proper alignment parts and get it properly aligned. Or eat through tires every couple of months.

When you get it fixed, post what your ore alignment numbers are. I bet the toe is waaaaay off.

^^^will do. Thanks guys I'll keep you updated. May be a while, like I mentioned, got about a half a good of snow yesterday so the car won't be moving for quiiiiite a while.

Definitely need an alignment. That's a combination of negative camber and toe that is out of whack. I'd think it's mostly toe, as my fronts did the same when the alignment dude didn't correct the toe. Hasn't done it anymore since the toe was corrected.

I'm about the same ride height on KWs and no front camber kit.

My car did the same.. unfortunately. A front camber kit should fix the problem.

Thank you guys, seriously, thank you to all of you that responded.

This is why I love these forums so damn much! This winter I will be doing a full front and rear camber kit, even if not fully needed, I'd like to be safe then sorry, esp with my future new setup ;-)

I would just like to point out how smart Woady is and that he said it was probably the toe first.

one more question..

...if I get the front camber kits, does it limit or restrict you from lowering/slamming your front wheels as much? The kit looks as if the arms are thicker or raise up more w/ the red spacer, will that prevent the amount of room to move in the fender without it hitting/rubbing?

****I have an appointment this weekend to have my 2 front tires switched from the left to right side and so forth.

****I also have an allignment scheduled w/ a professional who did my g35 and does a lot of sports cars which is next friday(day after thanksgiving). I'm debating if I should have him align it and adjust the toe as much as possible, or get a full camber kit and have it installed right away and not mess around or see if i can get within spec without it??

suggestions??

Just install the damn camber arms like everyone has told you to do and be done with it already! Do you think that everyone responding to this thread is trying to mislead you or that those of us who are already lowered on coils don't know what they're talking about?

whoa bro, you're DEFINITELY out of line. NOT EVERYONE ON HERE recommended getting a camber kit. They said it needed an ALLIGNMENT and that the TOE was out of wack. Not to mention there are PLENTLY of people on here with coils speaking from EXPERIENCE that they ARE NOT RUNNING CAMBER KITS IN THE FRONT and do not have any problems what so ever.

I really don't appreciate the sarcasm or smart a** remark, especially coming from a member of "STAFF" on the forums??
Even your previous post..

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR not even a month ago. I HAD NO IDEA the allignment was off, I just drove it home from GA and after inspection found the uneven wear on the inside of the tires.

I'm no n00b to cars, not to mention G's or the forums(2000+ posts on G35driver as a previous owner of an 06 coupe), I simply wanted to know if installing the camber kit would restrict how low I can go because of the how the front kit is setup. I got my answer through a PM, without receiving any criticism or an answer that absolutely NOTHING to do with my question.

Yes, it will restrict you from going slammed since the arms are longer than the oem, it'll bang on your fenders. I think I know what You want. You want to keep your current slammed height lol. How about get your tires flipped first and do an alignment then see how long they'll last, is the thread wearing properly and so on. Having the camber kit is nice but if you're going for that slammed look it ain't gonna work and I'm talking with experience. Even with my conservative drop my camber arms hit my fender when I go over huge hotholes.

Good luck and let us know how it goes also, post up your alignment sheet.

Just my 2 cents... Camber arms aren't necessarily required to fix this problem. I'm slammed and I'm not having these issues. My camber is way off, due to being low, but my alignment tech was able to get my toe in order. I have about 7k on my tires and they are wearing relatively even given how low I am.

Lance - Get new front tires. Those look dangerous. As soon as you get new tires and have your ride height set where you want it, get that alignment and be sure they get the toe corrected. It's possible. I had it done.

If you can get the camber kit, do it. It will buy you more time on needing new tires. But as many have mentioned, poor toe specs is what eats up the tires the quickest.
