MR Spring question...

Do the springs for the MR increase negative camber on the wheels?

MR Springs

Changing spring have a very minimal effect on your camber. With the MR springs it is bearly measurable. Are you looking for more camber?

Depends on what you put. The POS Tein H (2" drop)I once put on my car gave me extreme negative camber, the agravating factor was that the shock lost the fluid within days making the whole front and rear suspension even more inoperable and consequently afecting even more on the negative camber.

I am not trying to contradict Works word but that is realisticly my personal experience. My tires lasted not even 4-6 weeks, it trashed my tires and my suspension. I will never ever lower with Tein H my MR.

It may not have been the change in camber, but more the change in toe that lead to the early demise of your tires. Camber typically dictates where your tires will wear, while toe dictates how fast the wear occurs. An alignment check should be done with any change in suspension and adjusted accordingly.

If you combine toe out with negative camber, your tires wear out exponentially quicker on the inside versus just having the negative camber. The advan lifespan is bad enough even with a good alignment.
