Front/Rear Camber Kits??

[FeelGoodUnInc]

I had my car lowered 1.5" with Eibachs a year ago, never really had any problems until now.....now I'm having some major negative camber wear issues on both my front and rear tires. I discovered this when I went in for a 4 wheel alignment, both the inside toes of my front and rear tires were completely worn down, in the rear you can even see some of the wires in the tire showing.

I spoke to the shop and they told me getting a 4 wheel alignment would just temporarily solve the issue, I was also told as soon as I hit another pothole I would need another 4 wheel alignment...and he's right, after just a week my steering wheel is disaligned again..and unfortunately I live in Los Angeles in the hills where I have to drive through some of the nastiest roads. So I was recommended to get a camber kit (front and rear) but I can only seem to find a front kit from Bavarian Auto for $300 which is a complete ripoff IMO...doing an online search I can't seem to find any Eibach, Ingalls etc. Are there any other companies that produce camber kits for the X5??

rogue and dinan have front camber kits (made to increase negative camber, but you can rotate them to decrease as well). Furthermore, you can get a little positive camber back by releasing the alignment pin on the strut hat and sliding the plates outwards. the rears have eccentric bolts that are used to adjust camber and toe. you can get a little positive camber back that way as well.

you tire wear is mostly from bad toe and a little from excessive camber. stock, the x5 has -2 camber up front and -4 camber in the rear and they wear pretty evenly... what were your toe readings prior to the adjustment?

I wanted to lower my car with the Eibachs but worried about the tire wear.

wow didn't realize this could be so complicated, so what is the difference between negative camber and a bad toe??

im in need of new tires real soon but I want to correct this issue beforehand as I don't want my car to eat away at my new tires
