Unhappy Caster / Camber Plates

So since 2003 I ownded and still own a Triple Black 97 GT CVT, i did almost everything to it but the power adder and internal components to the motor ( which are coming soon ) however i never bought the caster/camber plates and for the last 10 years i been going trough set of tires where they get used up only on the inside... ( throwing money away )

Running 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear.

Problem is i wasted 4 sets of tires if not more in the last 5 years... where the pre-maturley would be used in the inner area.

I think becuase my car is slanted / \ < lol

However my question is what is a cheap and good option to go with? I love MAXIMUM MOTOR SPORTS but they are pricey..

Any help would be appreciated...

Search ebay and other forums. You can usually find a nice set of C/C plates used for cheap. I think I paid about $75 for my Steeda ones used.

Depending on how much it is lowered, those might not get it into spec.

I would check for a used set. I have maximum motorsports on my 98 cobra. They might sound pricey, but I bet those 2 front tires have cost you more

I'd say close to 1.5" to 2 " if he's getting tire wear that bad.
I had to have some serious adjustment for mine

Per FRPP it should be 1" all 4 corners.

However i think it might be lower. However the 255s do seem to war out a little more than normal...

Anyhow thanks for helping out guys. Yeah i need a good set not trying to find them for cheap.

Are all the other components straight? A 1" drop shouldn't throw it off that much to where it's eating its tires

make sure you tell the alignment shop you have them and exactly what you want your camber set at. Before you drive away from the shop look at how your tires are leaning or not of course you can stand them up yourself ....I did on mine
