Default alignment problem and coilover suggestions
I've got an 03 si with H&R springs on it right now and they've been on for about 40k miles. Now for my job I drive long distances quite often and i'm noticing my alignment is getting thrown off very fast, i've been wearing down the insides of my tires like crazy. I've had a camber kit but it doesn't really help. I've decided to redo the suspension to try and fix the problem. Can anyone give me some opinions/ suggestions? thanks

What struts are you using? I hope you aren't one to let the car drop in pot holes and what not. When you say your camber kit is not working.... Is it set to the proper degree or is it moving?

Well he did say he had an alignment done, but that it gets thrown off quick. So either there is something wrong with the suspension, the car has been hit before or the person doing the alignment is doing something wrong.

I didnt see where it said he had alignment done... I was just assuming he was speaking about stock alignment

I don't know I could be wrong But i took what he said as if he has tried getting the car aligned before, not to mention putting on a camber kit without adjusting it is pretty pointless!
