Default Tire Wear Problems- NEED SOME HELP and ADVICE

I am having trouble with tire wear on the rear tires(Toyo Proxes FZ4's) of my 97' Civic. I have H&R springs on it. 1.75" drop in the front and 1.5" drop in the rear. I put the Progress camber adustment kit on the front and the shims on the rear because my camber on the car was -2.5 degrees on the rear tires. I was getting unusually fast tire wear on the rear tires only and thought this would correct the problem. I am still getting the tire wear, but it is only every other tread on the inside of my tires in the rear. I can not figure it out. Could my struts be bad or not traveling correctly since I lowered it? I would appreciate some help with this problem.....Thanks

Are your shocks/struts stock?
