    any experience with KMAC or Camber Kits?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Here's the story..I bought new tires(kumho ecsta) around 35k miles after noticing that it was balding on the inner sides due to neg camber. So I got an alignment and thought it was fine and dandy. So my 45k checkup comes around and the tech shows me that my tires are all balding in certain spots again!

    So the tires only lasted me around 10k, and im looking to see if anyone has any experience with the kmac camber kits on the b7 model. I might as well grab a set of rims with tires and the camber kit instead of just buying another set of tires.

    BTW i also read from a previous thread that its from off toe angle, and not really camber. If so, does that mean I can fix the tire wear without buying the camber kit?

    Try and set toe as close to zero as possible. Where are the tires balding now?

    i just rotated today and the front tire had the wires showing already on the inner side. I had to bring out the spare wheel..and probably will order some new tires/wheels soon. I should have rotated every 5k..now i know for next time
