How bad are the camber/toe after a drop?

[Mtbalex]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting H&R drop springs and just wondering how bad is the tire wear as a result of having the camber/toe off. I use my FX35 as a daily commuter and drive about 50 miles a day. I dont want to change my tires every 1-2 years as a result of this. I would go broke!

I hear it's really bad....a few have done this and change out I believe every 5k miles I believe like Mr Lerry...some have reversed the springs such as Gee35FX not wanting to deal with the tire wear.

I removed my aftermarket springs and I was only dropped 1 1/4". I do long distant drives and had two alignments and could not get my camber and toe corrected. I was told I would have abnormal tire wear and did not want to put up with that.

I have had the H and R springs for about 7 months now and I have inner tire wear even with little over an inch drop.

If you do the drop right and get the bolt kit for the rear as the get the fronts to spec you will not get as bad tire wear but it'll still wear

Ugh. that all sounds pretty bad. The FX looks sooo good dropped.

It does look great dropped and the handling is so much better, but I did not want the tire wear.

There is no bolt kit for the 2nd gen

Oh, should've looked into that fine detail lol.. I'm shocked no one has ventured into making it yet.. Custom fab?
