Ok guys, I have tried searching and have found a few threads with some decent info but I just wanted to start my own thread so I can just ask straight up if there is a fix. I am sitting on between -2.0 and -2.8 camber right now with my D2s. This was after the alignment shop told me that any adjustment was already maxed out. Is there anything I can do besides raising the car back up? I love the way it looks right now but my tires are toast.

Anyone got any ideas? Also, SOMEONE BUY MY CAR!!! LOL I want a V2 Coupe!

Extend the slots in the frame where the lower control arms mount. The holes are slotted from the factory. I had to extend the slots on my car, and it's also lowered. I had to trim the lower control arms around the bushings so that wouldn't bottom out on the frame too. Think I made 3 trips to the alignment shop bf they had enough adjustment to get it to -1.5. Hope this helps, and if there's a better way, I would like to know also.

By and large, your toe settings are going to have a much larger effect on tire wear than your camber settings. Do you have your alignment sheet, or pictures of your tire wear pattern?
The D2/K-Sport coilovers seem to be doing something strange to the suspension geometry. I'm lowered as far as you, and my camber is -1.9 and -2.0 front and rear, respectively. If I wanted, I could reduce camber a half degree.
