Yes. What are your current alignment specs?

Toe is whack.

Get it aligned.

Forget about camber kits.

When you lower a car you get more toe out. The front tires are pointing out wards pulling away from each other. This makes them scrub on the ground as you drive chewing up the inside edges. Get it zeroed out and youll be good.

Just take it to a competent shop with an alignment rack, tell them to ignore the camber, and to set the toe to the dead center of factory specification tolerance range. Make sure to ask for a before and after printout of the specs before they take the car, and post the specs from the printouts in this thread.
