ya just camber kits...which in your case they are adjustable camber arms...buy those install them...and have a trustworthy alignment shop do a 4-Wheel Computerized Alignment....then you'll be okay

I just rotate my "tires only" from right to left and left to right. Cheap way of doing it ($15 labor per wheel), but it works.

I don't know that many shops, but TWS (The Wheel Supply) is close to you in Walnut and they have a great rep and should be able to do it for you.

As for the camber arms, I know people in the c32/c55 forum have done it with a lot of success.

I have the speedybnz rear camber arms and my rear tire wear has been very even. I had the alignment shop set the rear camber to -1.2 degrees at the suggestion of some forum members and that seems to work well. I wish speedybnz made front camber kits, because the OEM camber bolts could only get my front to about -2 degrees. Front tire wear is still pretty even though, since front tires tend to wear on the outsides naturally.

The Wheel Warehouse is in Anaheim. They can surely do it. That is where I buy my tires.

They are on La Palma and Anaheim Blvd.

PS, you have one of the best twistys in OC by you. Their is a nice twisting downhill behind Fullerton JC. Ever driven it?
