Tire wear on the outside or the inside?

No camber kits available. There are bolts that allow a minimal amount of camber adjustment. Either live with the worn out tires every few months or put it back to stock.

Maybe if you searched you may have found THE GIANT STICKY https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ons-specs.html

to answer the same question.

Or even this STICKY for the second question.

And here is the alignment reading after I got my car lowered with T1R ver1 springs and installed SPC front camber bolts...

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...d-today-2.html

These bolts are cheap so I would suggest u to install springs & the bolts then have alignment done after. Always remember u will still worn out your tires on the outside edges if u dial the camber as close to 0 degree as possible, coz u don't drive straight alllllllllll the time.

Tire rotation is very important too........

bad toe is what will really kill your tires, after i put my df210s on, the toe went off pretty bad, the camber not so much, was actually still in spec..

hah, thats the most retarded thing I have seen on this site in awhile.

Set your toe to zero and enjoy even wearing tires even with the camber.

mac strut cars need a good bit of static negative camber to handle decent anyway

You have never aligned any cars for a living or you would know that only "Internet experts" think toe is harder on tires than camber.

hah, not for a living but I have aligned my track car on a hunter rack multiple times.

I have been running -2.5* camber and 0in toe on that car, a double wishbone car that has more camber gain in corners than the fit, and my tires are worn perfectly across, maybe a little chunked on the outside after a track day.

I have had that basic alignment setup for 75,000 miles and 4 sets of tires (2 track tires, 1 snow tires, 1 allseason) and I have not had abnormal or uneven wear on any of them.

I have had this same experience on cars of friends that I have had a hand in setting up.

Actually for the front you can use camber bolts from the civic and it can give you adjustment all the way from -1.7
