you will have negative camber in the rear, maybe the front too. your tires will still last a while but the inside will be worn much more than the outside of the tire. this can be fixed with ruca's. i have the ebay specials that are like $150 and have been holding up great for months now.

Rotate them pretty frequently if you are running neg. camber in the back, you're probably going to have a decent amount with Sportlines. As long as you keep up on it the wear won't be too bad.

I have a bit of excess camber with the RS*R's but it's just slightly over factory spec.

BTW what's with the avatars mang? I liked the other chik better.

yea you can rotate them if you dont want to fix the camber problem. remember though if you go with a performance tire it may be directonal. in that case you could only rotate it on the same side of the car. if you go with wider wheels/tires in the rear then you wont be able to rotate a directional tire

Rucas are very easy and cheap and its a very good idea. I also have the ebay specials on my S14 and they hold up. I run a staggered settup and have some expensive tires so its best IMO to run someone sane camber angles :) Still at about -1* is fine for me, i still get great turn in and dont oversteer to much anymore (which is prolly do to the tires anyway).

I have a 96 s14 and i have the kyb agx +sportline combo.

after my alignment the fronts had no positive or negitive camber. the rears could only adjust to get me 1.0 neg camber. If i wasnt sliding all over the place my all season tires 205/55/16 might last 4 months in the rear with 1.0 neg camber. Im ordering the alignment kit as we speak to correct the rear camber issue.
