as you lower your car, your tires tend to flare...bottom out, top in so you get uneven inside wear.
at least that's how it was on my accord...i dropped that 2" and went to 4* negative camber and that ate up tires like mad. fortunately back then, accord tires are cheaper |

I have the Sport Suspension my 328i and I dropped it an inch and the result is no different from your accord. I had ~3* Neg Camber, so I had definately had to add some positive camber to about Neg 1*, which is working out so far. My Michelin's aren't exactly the kind of tire I'd like to ruin =/

Unless you lower it too far, you will be fine in terms of camber and tire wear. Ive lowered mine to about H&R ride height and have not had any issue with tire wear.

Don't think you can do much with camber on the front wheels of an e90. Stock to sport = .5"
Sport to eibach = .5" more, and I still managed to stay within factory specs on camber but at the limit. May need to get camber plates beyond that. |
