pinske Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 hi all, had my D2s on for about a month now and they have wrecked my tyres. Is there an optimal camber setting on the top mounts? or anyone tell me how to adjust it to stop it eating tyres. the tracking is a little out but shouldnt cause that much wear Sam.

steve-gers Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you put the coils on and didnt get the car tracked then even brand new tyres will be dead within a month if used alot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The tracking would be more responsible than the camber dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
har-vey Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 ill second that. i run 2.2 degs neg camber and use the car as a daily and the tyres are fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yep, itll be your toe not your camber Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I run -1.5 camber, and then toes neutral. Tyre wear seems to be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I fitted my coilovers last week and got the tracking done straight away. Tracking was spot on before fitting coilovers, after fitting them it was 7mm out which was a lot according to the tyre place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loguey Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Toe is gonna be killing your tyres and handling. At least get that seen to and youll see massive improvements Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ct9 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Think you will find your wheels trying to go in opposite directions like a "V" Shape this was the case on mine and I just tracked it used my dads tracking gear:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
