Default Suspension Problems

Hi I know I'm new here and this is acctualy a post for my friend. She recently bought a used 95 Civic HB that has had some aftermarket work done to it. The problem is her rear tires are wearing out on the inside quicker than the rest of the tires. The car has been lowered but we do not know how. I am assuming the camber angles are off due to the way it was lowered. Anyone know a way I can fix this? She's checked but there is no way to adjust cambers that we know of. If anyone has a solution to this please let me know so we can get this ride fixed.

go to the "suspension" forum here and do a search for "camber kit" -- that is what you need.

Make sure there isnt already a camber kit on there before you guy spending money on a new one. Also, and most importantly, check to make sure they didnt just cut the stock springs, cause that is VERY dangerous.

Cutting coils were thing to do where I'm from when I was growing up. Around the time, I think the first Civic had rolled out the factory.......
There was no fancy coils available back then.......

Or take it in to a tire place to have them fix your camber for you. They use like high tech lasers and junk to make it perfect, so it'll probably be more accurate than doin it urself
