Front and rear. But. Especially rear. I still cannot keep tires on this car. It takes no time and the rears are cupping and wearing off on the inside. Creating rediculous noise and tire expenses. Suspension is all fine and the alignment is within spec I'm told. Twice. Are there any fixes? I've seen the previous Gen cars have tsb and I've read the following...
Rear tire cupping on 06 thru 08 civics is because of rear suspension geometry. TSB 1-008 reduced the rear camber from -1.5 to -0.75 degrees. That will still not fix the problem. I went for 3rd party adjustable camber arms and set the camber at 0.0 degrees and the toe at 0.0 degrees at no load. Have travelled lots of miles since and it seems to do the job well.

Just a confirmation of setting the rear camber at 0.0 and the rear toe at 0.0 (no load) solved my 2007 EX cupping problem. That was in April of 2009. The adjustable rear camber arms were from SPC Performance PN 67470.
Any parts out for the 12+ cars?
