in need of some serious help, i drive a honda civic eg 92 reg, and ive got 17" bk racing alloyes, the car has been lowered alot, bu i dont know how much exactly, and the front wheels are wearing on the inside, really quickly. haynes says that theres no way of changing the camber on this car, so should i replace the standard suspencion? would REALLY apreciate the help! thanx

 

Try reading the stickies

I'm predicting you didn't get the car aligned after you lowered it. By changing the suspension geometry, you seriously jacked up the toe. By not having the toe set back to factory specs (more often than not, zero toe is the factory spec) you're destroying your tires.

Go to an alignment shop and have them adjust the toe. If you want them to adjust camber, you'll need to buy a new UCA for the front that has camber adjustability, however a few degrees of negative camber won't harm the tires in any way. I ran -3.0* camber all around on my old civic with no tire wear problems.

Google does miracles. Buy a camber kit.

OP, like I said, you don't have to correct camber; provided you're not running some ridiculous amount (-4*+) you should be fine as long as the toe is good.

(if necessary, tilt your monitor about 30*. I have a bad habit of taking pictures at an angle )

m4d jdm negative camber y0 is more apparent with the stock wheels:

Ya unless youre completely dumped like my ef was when I got it. The toe was fine but the front tires were basically ruined on the inside

 

The camber was probably in excess of -4*. -3* is my safe limit; usually it's hard to hit that much just by lowering it unless you're tucking tire hardcore.
