docwra Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I still think youve got a problem man, I run about 2 degrees on my rears and they are never that bad (they get quite a lot of abuse as well) Found similar wear on the front of mine just before I went to Spa, turned out to be one of the bushes on the lower arm was shot, worth a check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 We're assuming that it actually was 2.5 deg on the fronts, could well have been knocked at any point and running well out of spec. Just goes to show that if you're going to run aggressive settings, you need to be checking your tyres much more often. Ignoring the danger aspect for a second, that's an easy three points if a copper decides to pull you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Trouble is I can't find the Dunlop SP 01 for the rears now http://www.dunlop.eu/dunlop_uk/tires/passenger/sp-sport-01/index.jsp?from=browse Probably I will have to take them off, sell them on eBay and buy some MPSS for all corners...

GIXXERUK Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 were both fronts worn the same ? if not it suggests a problem, if that is down to the alignment it is much too aggressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes, both tyres the same. The alignment is fine, car handles like crazy, like glued to the tarmac Don't care much about the tyres, they did about 12.000 miles, to me that's more than enough.

Bad alignment usually means that the car grips like no-ones business, I had a set of D01J's that lasted 500 miles as I was running immense toe in, but on the upside I could go round corners at any speed I wanted Seriously though, even though you got 12K Id still check for sanity - it may have just gone in the last few hundred miles and you dont want to be splashing out again after another few hundred miles for the sake of 5 minutes with a plumb line, a tape measure and some chalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I wanted to check it last week on Wednesday, just before going to Wales, but the guys were very busy so didn't have time. Will check it again anyway, it's included in the original price I've paid to have it re-checked after a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstraw Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 reminds me- have you got caber arms installed? so you have purposely set your camber to over -2 degrees or did that just happen when you lowered? im getting eibach springs fitted and you cant adjust the front so i dont want crazy camber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I do have the SPL front camber arms fitted and set this on purpose, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 im getting eibach springs fitted and you cant adjust the front so i dont want crazy camber Personally, if i was getting lowering springs fitted I'd get adjustable camber arms/bolts fitted at the same time. Then get my geo done. It's not about driving a crab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
