Hi guys
I have a problem i have recently put G-Max 30mm lowering springs on my car and just been told that the springs are setting the camber angle out on the back, there for causing my tyres to blow out.
i've taken them off and been told that the camber angle can't be adjusted.
Is there any thing i can do. All suggestions would be helpful
thanx virg

the camber angle induced by -30mm springs will not cause your tyres to blow out! as for this cause i'd say faulty tyres or incorrect tyre pressure

You can buy camber correcting bushes for the rear, they need to be installed by someone who knows what they are doing!

What do you mean by 'blow out' do you distort into a funny shape or risk physically blowing up??

Thanx for the replies,
The actuall tyre on the inside wall burst on the rear passenger tyre and the wall of the rear drivers was creased inside again.
There were regal tyres 195/40/17 would this make a difference
Thanx again
