Default Tire wear

I have a 97 Civic ex, It has been lowered with adjustment shocks and springs, I bought it this way. Well my rear tires lean towards the inside of the car causing the inside of the tires to wear or cup. Can an allingment shop adjust the camber on the rear tires to fix my problem? if not what can I do beside replace the tires every year?

depending on how much the car is lowered, you might need to purchase a camber kit. This should give you enough adjustment to bring the car back into proper alignment. The best thing would be to take it to a good alignment shop and talk to them. They would be a good source of information.

As far as the camber kit, there are many places to buy them. I believe (I'm not 1005 sure though) that if the car is lowered 1.5" or less you won't need a kit. if it's more then that you probably will
