Coilover help

[iMurphy]

I went through everything I thought would help but....On my S14, Tein coilovers (not sure the specific model) were installed before my purchase. He didnt adjust the camber, I think thats it, and now the tires are wearing on the inside. They are stock wheels, in good shape that I plan on keeping for a while. Now I dont want to drop a lot on something that I can adjust whenever I want because I wont use it. Is there a bushing or spacer or something that I can get my hands on that just corrects it back to stock? One of my VTEC buddys said he had something machined to correct it but it didnt sounds like he was sure what he was saying. Any info or terms I can use to search would be great, thanks.

Depending on which coilovers you have they may have upper strut mounts that are adjustable. I believe the basics use the factory mount and the others have pillow ball mounts. I would take it to a shop that actually knows how to do alignments and have it properly aligned.

well two things

1. You didnt say if it was front or rearmakes a big difference

2. If it is said front or rear, take it to an alignment shopif its not SLAMMED, you will be able to get it in factory settings, or at least limits

camber isnt wearing your tireToe isI run -4* of camber and dont get tire wear

I truthfully dont know if it has the upper mounts or pillow bouts but I can try to figure that out. Its all four tires...unless they were rotated and all have the same wear...but ill have them fix it at the shop when I get my new tires. Thanks

your toe angles are off. Like Yokota said, if your fronts are set low, chances are your wheels are facing outward: camber + incorrect toe angle = tire wear. The rears automatically camber themselves when lowered, if you don't want the camber, get some adjustable rear upper control arms.

in the rear

any change in camber, changes your toe

just how the suspension geometry is

Alright, so I am going have to drop some serious dough to get something fancy and adjustable that ill only use once to correct the rear? And the solve for the front is to tell my tire man to correct it?

noget an alignment, and see what he says
