Alignment? Camber Kit? Please help...

[GinNBoost]

I've been having problems with my treadwear as of late. It seems as if the front right tire is having toe problems. This just recently started happening after I got my clutch changed. I also just downsized from 18s to stock 16s for performance reasons and I noticed that the wheels kinda (but slighty) look like / \ now.

One side of the car appears lower than the other as well. What exactly do I need? An alignment or front camber kits? I never had these problems with my 18s and I never had camber kits. I only have Eibach prokits. What could be causing this? And how can I correct it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Camber kit and alignment kit the same.
Get one and have it fixed bro.

I was always pretty sure that changing wheels can cause alignment issues if they have different offsets. That will throw off your toe.

Also sounds like you need a camber kit. Is it shaped like / \ that in the front or rear or what?
The rear you can fix w/ a "$15 homemade kit" of washers and spacers. But of course toe is what will quickly wear your tire out more then camber.

Are the springs sagging?, one side of the car shouldn't be lower? Maybe contact eibach.

If camber is your issue install a camber kit. You'll need an alignment regardless. If there is a firestone in your area theyll have specials for lifetime alignments for only 99 bucks. You can change hieghts of coilovers and tires and not have to worry bout shelling out everytime.

Thanks for the replies guys. I realize that the toe and camber can be fixed but what's up with my car being lower on one side? On one side there's about three fingers width between the fender and the tire but on the other side it seems as if the two touch each other (but they don't rub). The car has been on 18s all its "life" and I just recently switched back to the stock 16s so I can give up looks for performance. I'm really bummed about this. I don't want to have to purchase another set of springs...
