I Just Purchesed A Rear Camber Adjuster Kit For My S13 Because My Tiers Are Getting Destroyed From "DD" (and A Welded Diff). My Problem Is I Don't Know How To Adjust Them Once I Put Them On. Should I Just Throw Them On And Go Get An Alignment?(its Lowerd 2" If That Helps) ANY INFO WOULD HELP THANKS.

STOP TYPING IN CAPS.

I think you should have someone install them, and take your car to get it aligned, chances are you have horrible TOE settings, NOT camber, that are killing tires.

just eye ball it to your OEM camber arms. That's what I did until i went to an alignment shop.

and always get an alignment after lowering.

Welded diff doesn't help either.
I would recommend a vlsd for daily driving, much easier on your tires.
But yeah, use anti-seize on the RUCA threads, eye ball it to oem settings, install and limp to the alignment place.

Well wha ha happen iz...

When you drop your car, your camber changed as well as your toe.

Those two things are detrimental to your tires. Toe more than camber.

And now being as how you are a water drinker, you purchased those weak eccentric bolts; chances are low you can get within spec using those.

Unless you bought rucas?

Welded diff doesn't kill tires fast.

Drifting/low tread rating/alignment kills tires. If you can't handle it, then why did you get that in the first place.

After you put that feces on, use some common sense so you can get your car properly aligned.

This place will help you for everything else.
