Default Adjusting suspension for EF

I have Tokico Illuminas on my hatch and, I bought new tires and had a adlighment done. Several months ago I lowered my suspension since theyre adjustable. Today I noticed that my tires are bald on a the inside and It's really bad. Is this due to a poor alighment or because I adjusted the shocks? A really good friend of mine did the alightment and he knows what he's doing so what can it be.

The question is has anyone had this problem?

you cant lower your car after an alignment thats what an alignment is for, you have to lower it first then get it aligned...D'oh

like jimmy mentioned, when you lower your car, you mess up the toe angles. i believe its toed in. that messes up your tires. (its not the camber change.) consider your tires constantly trying to turn.

you should have gone back to your friend to get it aligned after your lowered your car.
