Bad Camber caused tire to blow!

Yeah Yeah, so I've had my car lowered more than 2 inches since May. My Camber was so bad, that my tire finally blew yesterday. I noticed the inside was wearing down like a bitch, but damn. Well to make a long story short, If you read this, I am living proof, get your shit camber corrected immediately. Luckily I had a spare 17" tire, only cost me 20 bucks to change it out. But I'm gettin my camber corrected next month. Don't be a dummy like me!

ground controls, ----> and camber plates, kyb agx. well... here is what happened. it -was- lowered 4inches. i went to get an alignment and they told me they couldnt correct the camber for shit. so today i raised it up about 1 1/2 inches to help the camber and bought two more tires. its nice having a halfway decent ride now.

yeah it was pretty bumpy and i think i was on the bumpstops. handled f'n awsome though

you know, napa sells ingalls camber kits. the two front bolts cost me only around 30$. a bit cheaper than blowing out a tire.
