Default Tires are "chopping"...any suggestions???

I have a 00 integra with low profile tires. My car starts shaking once I hit 60 and gets worse as i go higher. I got the tires balanced and an alignment. My mechanic says The reason as to why my car shakes like that is because of my car being to low and my tires are choppin on the inside. I have blox camber kit with the arm, skunk 2 coilovers and kyb shocks. I can't think of any else that's making my car shake, and the reason as to why my tires are chopping from the inside.....any suggestions or help is appreciated.


Thanks =)

I checked that, it still causes the tires to chop on the inside.

Even with the car properly aligned to specifications the inside edge of the front tires will feather on a Honda. On my personal cars, I run slightly more toe-in in the front to combat this. You will give up some handling and initial turn in response, but your tires will last longer. Your car is shaking because tires are out of balance.
