I want to state, im on a budget.
Recently installed tein he coilovers on my fastback and my tire wear is uneven due to the fact that its slammed. What can i purchase to make my tire wear even so im not going through tires every two months or so? The front tire wear seems to be even. What do you guys reccommend?
sorry for the noob question, i want to make sure i do it right the first time.
thanks in advance!

You can't "SLAM" a car with just coilovers. You need adjustable arms to dial everything back in to some type of spec. Toe, Camber, etc.
If you can't afford adjustable arms, then lift your car back up.

megan parts...for the budget friendly...or if you want...ISIS, http://www.enjukuracing.com/isis-suspension-package-nissan-240sx-p-8984.html
can't get cheaper than that ISIS package.
^^^Agreed. You CAN slam your car but UNLESS your wanting to go through tires fairly quick, get then AT LEAST get adjustable RUCA's (Rear Upper Control Arms)
They adjust camber in the rear and for the front, its camber is adjusted bythe camber plated on the top of the coilover

Fuck fixing your camber, you need to fix the damn toe. Get adjustable arms, get a damn alignment and you should be good to go.

you can slot the subframe so you don't have to spend money on unnecessary upper control arms in the rear. I haven't done this but many other people have and they have great results with all kinds of cars.

Agree, before buying coilovers the first thing is to upgrade the arms, RUCAS, Toes, Traction, Tension...Or else you are gonna be buying tires like a motherf***er.....

So, in reality, if you don't do your research first, and get all the parts you need, but still try to slam your car, you'll be owned! (http://zilvia.net/f/members/owned-.html)
