I took my car in to have an alignment at the begining of summer....I checked out all 4 corners today and the fronts are wearing evenly, but the backs are wearing on the outside ( toe out ). My question is, shouldn't there really be a "toe in" issue with lowered cars. I have the Eibach Prokit installed so it's not that huge of a drop.
I have a camber bolt kit from OBX. Should I have a shop install these and adjust the rear camber for me?

Thats positive camber on the rear not toe out. Toe out the tires are like duck footed. Yea usually with lowered cars you get neg camber. Neg camber is good but not in excess, the more you race the nmore negative you want it to a point. I believe I have 1.5 in the front and 1 in the rear, I go racign everyother month. Camber kits are pretty cheap Ive worked with camber bolts on an Evo before. Basically its a bolt with a hump near the head. Pretty easy when you see it in person. I want to have no Toe on my car it wears tires way to fast for my wallet.

Ya, I'll have a better shop have a look at the camber issue.

I bought the OBX kit off of ebay for $20.
