Message I had the same problem. Concept Z has a front camber correction kit which is just some spacers that bolt between the body and the upper control arm. Easy installation. The back was a bit more expensive, but there are a ton of people selling adjustable upper control arms. They have to go around the rear shocks so they aren't the simple turnbuckle type you see on Hondas. Not hard to install. I'm about to bite the bullit and get 17 inch tires because I want more choices for tire compounds. The 245-45/16's wear our in just a few months for me. I need more than pencil erasers for rubber.

:
: I have a stock suspension Z and just got new tires yesterday.
:I got stock 245-45-16's, and went from narrow front wheels to TT rears all around.

When the tech did the alignment he noted that the front PS tire had -1.9* camber?
:(The DS was -1.3*)

There is not a way to adjust the camber without A/M setup, right?
:The tech looked for bent pieces and found none. He suspects my struts to be wearing out.

I don't know if/when the P.O. replaced shocks/struts.
:
: Is he correct? If so, I guess I'll need to look into my options.
:(I can make them re-align it free for only 30 days)

Thanks for the help in advance, as always!
