Long story short:
I put KW V3s on last summer during my home leave. I drove it from St. Louis to Colorado for a few days' road trip with my wife. I moved back to the states in late June and have pressed the car into service as a daily driver (long commute - mostly highway miles) since driving it from St. Louis to the DC area. When I put the coilovers on, I drove it a couple hundred miles before having it corner-weighted and aligned to the following specs (actual):
FRONT Left Right
Camber -2.0* -1.8*
Cross Camber -0.1*
Caster 7.6* 7.7*
Cross Caster -0.1*
Toe 1/32" -1/32"
Total Toe 0"
REAR Left Right
Camber -1.5* -1.6*
Caster ---------------- (no ability)
Toe -0" 0"
Total Toe 0"
Thrust Angle -0.01*
Other suspension mods include:
- GXP Z0K sways front and rear w/ polyurethane bushings
- LVFCB
- Race Backbone
- Probeam
- 6kg/mm springs on all 4 corners (~400 lb/in)
I have a few ideas what might be causing it, but want your input. Initially I thought the suspension might have settled more post corner weight/alignment, but it measures the same with a tape measure (scientific, I know). I have an appointment to get the alignment checked/adjusted tomorrow before I put new tires on. Of course if the alignment is way off what I had set, I'll go back to those settings. If not, then I'm at a loss and wonder if I need to dial out some camber or dial in some toe.
Advice, please?
EDIT: Tried to attach photos, but they're too large. Essentially, the insides of the tires are wearing rapidly - especially up front. No "cupping" evident, though. Can re-post photos tonight if necessary.
