Thread: lowering car=unbalanced tyres

    Talking lowering car=unbalanced tyres

    Hi benz-ers,

    I'm a new member from indonesia!

    I lowered my car using H & R springs about 1-1.5 inches.I noticed that the wheels(1/16 carlsson,225/40/18) on my car(especially the rear) are slanted out(like a inverted V-sign).And after some considerable kilometers,my tyres were worn out on the inner portion.I also saw a slight bump(which i could press down) on the inner portion of the tyre.Looks like i gotta change the tyre

    Here is my question:If i were to change to bilstein/koni shock absorbers,will my car balance out?

    no

    that's called negative camber

    You need to buy a front and rear camber kit

    Changing the type of springs/shocks won't help.

    you should try an alignment job first before buying an Camber Adjustment kit.

    The stock rear camber links are not adjustable. Alignment will not help rear neg. camber.

    You should consider aftermarket camber arms such as Jeffs.
