you need a camber kit installed

it fixes the 'too much camber' problem that you get when you lower an IRS car

i think whiteline have a kit. or im sure there are many jap kits going around too

wider tyres will make the camber seem more prominent. all silvias have camber. the more rooted your suspension, the worse it seems

fix it by dropping your car on its tits :)

j/k get some nice springs/shocks or some coil overs if you can afford it and maybe a camber kit

shop around before buying from one place

also labour costs can make up a lot of the total price too
