camber problems?

when a lancer is lowered is the camber changed? if so, is there anyway to fix it i mean if we get coilover and drop it all the way not just 1 inch . i really dont want to buy tires every few months. oh do the tiens coils have a good ride to them?

After having my Lancer ES for almost 1 1/2 yrs and got the ground control coil over on it, my tire tread was awesome. It seemed that after 32000 miles driving it, the tire was still good and no sign of uneven wear. So I guess no need to worry bout camber and uneven tire wear.

Hey! I've never heard of GC coil overs for the ES! Damnit.

RRM makes a camber kit if it is necessary and some of the drops people get from some of the springs do require that kit to prevent uneven tire wear. I don't know specifics though...

I have eibachs and definate camber problems. there only 1.2 and 1.5"drop and when I got my car aligned with the laser table( at my friends shop) we could not get the camber into specs. 1- there is no camber ajustment on our cars in the front 2- it would not bother me if both front tires had a little negative camber, but one has negative and the other has positive. the wheels our actually like this / / (exagerated)

Ground Control has had a kit for the lancer for a long time now, but it's just the springs and collars (no shocks included), so you'd still be running them with the stock shocks or the ralliart. Correct me if I'm wrong.

i have the progress spring kit on my es so it is a 1.7 inch drop all around. and my camber was pretty bad. i had yokahama paradas which wear out fairly quickly mine lasted almost 20000 miles but when i got them replaced the inside tread was past the secondary rubber of the tire and the outside still had a little tread. so i would suggest rrm camber kit for the front... im gettin it now
