I run alot of camber on the front naturally being low.
I wore my AD08s all perfectly evenly all around.
2 degrees of toe on the rear total toe or 2degrees each wheel?

On my van when i lowered it. Before alignment i was at a total or 12degrees rear toe and 2.8 degrees rear camber and i went through a set of tyres in 2000 miles.
After aligment and the recommended to the 2 degrees of total toe and around 2.8degrees of rear camber (non adjustable until i get adjustable bushes) i wear the inside edges now at around 16000 miles.

Isn't yours a BB1 vtecmec? So you have a bit of camber adjustment on the rears where the 2WS doesn't?
I'm afraid I have no experience of camber kits as I've never needed one. Mine is lowered about 40mm and has been for around ten years. I do get a little extra wear on the insides as you'd expect but that's with a PAW fast road geo setup.
Sorry if that's not really a help :oops:

I still think it will be toe rather than camber. I don't excessively wear tyres on either of my Ludes and my 4G is pretty low!

Anyway from what I have read on the internet Ingalls stuff seems to be the most recommended: https://www.ingallseng.com/mmy.php?year ... &model=759

Just as a follow up, I've sent the car to the local garage this morning to have the alignment checked, and it's perfectly aligned and within the specs.............
