I agreed with the Tech. My BMW M4 with Eibach pro kit drop the same .8fr/.4rr. No alignment kit needed. You still need an alignment to adjust your toe in/out.

Fit the K-Mac Camber Kits.

Even unlowered cars will wear through the fronts every 8-12 months daily driving.

The issue is our cars do not have camber or caster adjustment from factory.

Photos below are my original tyres pre-lowered after 8 months.

Tyres now last me well over 2 years.

K-Mac Camber kits also pull the bottom of your tyre in opposed to pushing the top of your tyre out reducing tyre to guard clearance.

They are also adjustable on the alignment machine unlike the cheap top arm alternatives where the tyres are required to removed to make adjustments.

​​​​​​Can someone post a link to what is needed from kmac? I'm just curious what the cost is (and might order).
Rears as well as it will provide more contact patch to the road increasing traction.

Dude you need this kit even if you keep it at standard height.

That is more of a toe in/out issue.

That’s correct, however, this damage accrued within 8 months of the car being purchased, standard height and factory alignment.

Took me 3 sets of tyres before I decided to fit the K-Mac Camber kit and by properly correcting camber, caster & Toe tyres now last over 2 years.

Not saying that is what is happening, it just can be deceiving .

Front passenger side tire, cords showing on inside edge.
