I think..i'll have to check paperwork...with a good toe setting, you will have minimal inner wear....

The 'correct' alignment depends quite a bit on your driving habits and style, but my assumption is that anybody who wants to put on sport springs probably isn't using the car to do 30,000 highway commuting miles a year.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
I'm going to order up some H&R -30mm springs in the new year to lower my C2. I had the car inspected during a service and all bush's etc are in good order.
Once I fit the springs, I will get the Geo setup, however I've read that you cannot get the correct camber on the rear, and it will wear out the inside of the tyres.
Can anyone give me some real life experience of this? What did you do to correct it? Do the front's wear out quicker also? Would the -25mm springs be a better solution?
My car:
Thanks in advance,
Keith
H&R Sport springs on my 2004 C2, very happy with handling & ride, no abnormal tire wear. I went with GT3 alignment specs...
Note: If you use an more aggressive higher camber alignment and do a zillion straight highway miles, you'll wear the inside of the tires more. If you use a non-aggressive alignment like the stock US Carrera alignment and do a lot of track or curvy mountain roads, you'll handle worse and wear the outside of the tires more. The 'correct' alignment depends quite a bit on your driving habits and style, but my assumption is that anybody who wants to put on sport springs probably isn't using the car to do 30,000 highway commuting miles a year.
You might have difficulties reducing the camber back down to the minimal US spec with the lowering springs and no other mods, but for me, that is a non-issue.
+996. If you find that you can't get close to factory toe specs after your car is lowered and settled, I would then invest in rear adjustable toe links.
I was going through my alignment notes, found some additional info. I need to dig out the alignment results to see what I actually decided to shoot for and the final results...
Note that toe should typically be specified in degrees or minutes (1/60th of a degree = 1 minute), not inches. The problem with using inches is that it is dependent on wheel/tire size and where the measurement is taken from....
