How your coilovers are adjusted shouldn't make much difference. More to do with how your FTO has been aligned. Have you checked the alignment recently? - Is it within spec? i.e. for instance you're not running too much camber etc

yes i tink your right
my tyre supplier has but he has a small business, do u know anyone who can do this correctly ?


found this on ftooc


Lowered By Camber change
1 inch (~25mm) -0.84?
2 inches (~50mm) -2.12?
3 inches (~75mm) -3.86?
So you can see that if you stick those lowering springs on your car and don't get your suspension geometry checked you'll be out of the recommended tollerances straight away. I can personnaly vouch for this as we had excessive inner tyre wear on our car with it's (previously unbeknown to us) camber setting of about -4? !

Do you have adjustable strut tops (proper name won't come to me)? I think the camber can be adjusted there. If not, you'll need camber adjusting bolts.

When I lowered my car with Apex springs, the guy sorting out the alignment said that lowering the car limits how much you can adjust the camber by. The lower you go the worse that gets. Even with the Apex springs, which probably don't lower it as much as the coilovers, I needed camber bolts to get it properly lined up.

"PILLOW BALL MOUNTS" Kev i think are the word you are trying to think of. Cam ber has to be adjusted and the coilovers are adjusted. So find a comfortable setting first and the get camber adjusted
