lowred my car and need some help...
ok so i checked and the only posts i can find dont compleatly awncer my quedtion so dont come in here saying SEARCH!!! cus thats dumb but anyhow on to the question
ok so i lowered my car and now i am having negative camber up front( which i understand) but i was told i never would have negative camber from lowering... tires definatly show signs on negative camber in there wear patern(insides worn down.. both tires)
so is there any other method besides sloting my towers( also is there any way i can find of going about this...) i cant rotate my tires because i cant do a X rotation so once i rotate for the second time the original tires will be in there original spots(brings me right back to my problem again lol) reason being is front 2 are directional so without dismounting and swaping for sides i cant just rotate to make the outer wear kinda even...
Also i need the cheapest method in doing this... jbp makes some camber plates but damn there EXPESIVE!! lol 360 ish i think last time i looked will the ebachi lowering camber kit work?? has anyone ever use this before? Also when i get an alignment i just dont understand how to adjust camber by sloting my towers.. lift the car, move bolts( strut) , tighten , then drop the car and check camber?
Btw: tire pressure is correct.. torqued to the right specs.. no suspension modifications besides the lowering springs and a strut tower bar...
Thanks alot for the help ahead of time Nick

with an alignment u cant adjust camber correct?? the worst that can happen is toe which would wear the whole tire correct??
lol and to awncer the question ... no i was told an alignment was not nessicary because the drop was so little... so i do need an alignment? (i read people say yes and some say no... i cant see the camber from the front but u can from the tire wear( not a huge amount over 6 months but noticable... noticed while i was changing my intercooler pump
was going to get the alingment but i am having a problem finding a shop who will do my lowered car... everyone says i cant get that on my rack without damaging it... i was like man ile take the front bumper off 4 ya and he was like we just dont do lowered car's( told from 6 people... 2 on the phone and 4 in person) Multipul places.

well thank you very much guys.. now i just have to find some 1 who will put my car on there wrack.. i was like **** ile bring my own 2x4's and drive it up my self( my fault if anything happens lol) he was like yeah we cant do that... everyone around here wont give me and alignment because of it being lowered?? wtf i think this is dumb!! i guess ile just keep calling around. Thanks alot to everyone ( i thought toe would affect the whole tire not just the inside... thanks for clearing that up... i thought only camber affect inner and outer wear and toe just made it alot greater)

1. If you have a Firestone they will do your alignment.
2. I know quite a few Hondas who drill out the mounts like you want to, all you have to do it take it off and widen the lower hole it is a real bitch to get straight though.
