Honda or some jap crap

Only half tech here, but do honda's or toyotas have IRS's? I saw a civic (I think) the other day at the auto parts store that was lowered so much the rear wheels had at least 2º (camber or castor, cant remember which is right). The freaking rear tires must have rubbed the wells. What an idiot. Guy was parked all crooked and varitably pissed me off. I think the fool works there. How long do you think those tires last? 2-3000 miles?

That's a common problem with hondas. They don't have a straight axle like we do, they have seperate systems. So basically, the two wheels, left and right, are not conected in any way. Also, they can be aligned, but only to some degree. Then when you slam them, this happens. I love cars on the ground, but I like to keep my tires for more than 10,000 miles, at the most. When they cost as much as they do, that makes the guy with the car just that much more stupid!!!

scooter in the future you may want to refain from using any language on here that may be taken as racist and get you banned. "*****" is a pretty well accepted term used to refer to what you saw, whether on an import or american made.
