Ive got two CV Boot joints to do and need two tyres.

Ive got KW Coilovers on it, my front tyres always wear on the insides.

Anybody else get this problem, thinking of getting some camber adjuster bolts fitted, are they any good anyone had them fitted?

How low have you got it and what size wheels do you have?

Also, as you have bad camber problems, ad I guess you want to keep your car the same height and not change the wheels I would suggest you get some eccentric top mounts instead of camber bolts. They allow you to adjust the camber and castor of the suspension a lot more accurately than a set of camber bolts. The only bad point is they are usually solid aluminium so they can be a bit noisey.

You get them off of Ebay.

You need to have the correct offset i think, and the car being lowered wont help. My mate had this problem there and when he was getting new tyres he asked the boys about it and they fixed it somehow, so try ur local tyre fitter.
