Question about alignment and camber kit!

Ok well im installing my new tires tomorrow bc my two front tires are deformed from me not getting an alignment from the 2nd springs. My question is can i put the new tires on and get an alignment and be fine OR should i wait to install the camber kit then tires then alginment? Does it matter? Can I get an alignment then put the camber kit on?

I have tenzo R springs

it really depends how far out camber is now assuming that is the issue that is causing rapid tire wear/irregular wear. Also, i havent aligned a lowered ss, just my stock ss and depending on how low that drop goes, there may not be enough room in the knuckle to get camber to within tolerable range. I say, if you can hold off and get the camber kit and the tires/alignment at the same time you can get it all done in one shot and save yourself some headaches and maybe save your tires.

remember, if you just install the tires and wait for the camber kit to get the alignment, chances are you will cause wear that can not be corrected and the tires might not ride right again. also, if worn irregularly, you alignment no matter how well its done wont matter because the tires that are worn could cause a pull.

Just wait and get it all done at the same time if you can.

the problem is thought that my front left tire is about to burst and I dont need to be driving along and all of a sudden i have a blowout and wreck my car. I was gonna get an alignment with the new tires installed and then 1st thing monday morning i was going to order the camber kit and then get another alignment.

ok. you can do that, but they will probably charge you for the alignment twice unless you can work out a deal with the shop doing it. If it was me, i'd line it up free the second time.

I drive a 2.2 and thinking about installing Eibach sportslines in it. I heard that camber kits are best for autoXing, I'm not thinking about autoXing yet, but is it wise to install camber kits anyways??
