i have had my car lowered for the past 2 months and prob put 1500 miles on it or so. right now my cars front rims/tires tilt in (top is tilting and bottom is sitting in the normal position). i know my alignment is maxed out and i need caster camber plates but will that fix this issue? and is this really an issue or not a big deal at all? i lowered the car with vogtlang gt lowering springs. i know i have a v6 but i have added so much weight to the car that the gt springs were appropriate imo. also i have koni yellows

It's called negative camber resulting from the lowering springs you installed. You need to get an alignment to fix it, and you may need camber bolts/plates. You always want to get your alignment checked and adjusted if necessary after installing new springs. After 1500 miles, hopefully you haven't ruined your front tires.

The added negative camber will help your front tires provide more grip under hard cornering. If your tires are wearing evenly, then I wouldn't worry about it. Braking distance might be slightly increased though.

i had an allignment done and did get camber bolts but i was told that the alignment was maxed out and needed caster camber plates.

After the alignment what were your "maxed out" front end settings?

i honestly dont know that, the shop i had everything installed at sent it in for an alignment and didnt tell me, and i didnt ask because i dont really understand what that stuff means. suspension is something that still stumps me.

I got away with just using the eibach camber bolts with my eibach pro-kit, what kind of springs you using?

I had mine measured after putting springs on and found negative 1.5. For me, I would prefer more negative camber because of the driving i often do has a lot of fast turns and I am not seeing any uneven tire wear. As jahudso2 said, if the tires aren't wearing on the inside excessively you should be OK.

Camber is not adjustable from the factory as far as i understand.

Mine's like that after lowering it. I've been keeping an eye on the tires and don't see any uneven wear as of yet. Still, even if the tires end up dying a bit early I can live with that, the car corners much, much better now.

Once I get decent wheels and tires I'll get it fixed, but these crappy pirelli's need all the help they can get.
