lol just because you add camber doesnt mean youll be buying tires every 3 months. There are numerous car companies out there that run -2 degrees on there cars from the factory, and the tires wear just fine. My brother runs -2.5 in the front and -3 in the rear, hes had the same tires on the car for about 5 months now, with no sign of camber wear.

My suggestion would be, roll your fenders, eibach prokit, and if they still dont clear, maybe -1.5 degrees of camber, which would not only help clear your fender, but would actually improve handeling.

A lot of that depends on the tires too, of course. Factory rear camber on my BMW is around -2.5 to 3 degrees thanks to how the suspension is set up. Tires currently on the car have been on it for 15k miles and show no signs of wear. The Blizzaks on my Protege, with just a little additional camber are destroyed after 15k miles.

Yea...I was actually referring to BMW's lol they run alot of camber from the factory on most of there cars, the 7 series actually runs close to -2.5 in the rear.
The tires do have alot to do with it though. My brothers running s drives and they seem to be handling the camber pretty well.

i need help though, I NEED MORE LOW -_- i am currently on stock racing beat springs and have only an inch to play with in the rear and 2 1/2 in the front without rubbing my fenders.... was gonna get eibachi or tein springs... front would be ok but my rear would rub.... not looking to camber dont feel like investing in tires every 3 months and coilovers are not in my price range..... thoughts anyone??

Since you have the stock MP3 tockio blues remember that when your reading the drop rates unless it specifically states MSP or MP3 then its for regular protege struts which have a lower spring perch so you aren't actually going to drop as much in the rear as they say. I don't actually remember how much the difference is but I'm sure somebody will chime in with it.

Camber doesnt kill tires.

Its the toe in or caster that kills tires...

 

[boost is gr8]

took a road trip with the new wheels on this weekend... turns out im already rubbing in the rear when i hit bumps with a second person in the car.... think i will start with a fender roll and see how that goes..... i need to know good legit ways to do this.... ive already herd heating up the fenders and using a baseball bat...

 

[slipkornvayne]

eastwood makes a fender roller. i believe you cant rent them too

 

[justanothermp5]

rent or buy the tool, its the only way to do it the right way. Baseball bats can crack the paint, I own a fender roller, and its much more effective then a bat could ever be.

If you can apply heat to the paint/metal you can use just about whatever your want to roll the fenders. Mine have been "rolled" with a heat gun and/or butane torch and rubber mallets. It's still probably in your best interest to use a roller but at the time my suspension was too low to actually fit the roller and I didn't want to screw up my alignment.
