Default Suspension Going Crazy. HELP!!!

I have front COilovers on my eg hatch with stock shocks (saving up for tokicos) when my car is just sitting, my front tires look with a little negative camber but the truth of the fact is in 3 weeks, my car ate up the outside of a 60% tire on the outside of it. yesterday my tires where starting to turn bald on the outside and after driving the car for 200 miles i started to see the metal on them. im running 205 40 17. I have no idea what is wrong. HELP!!!!

Was that a typo? You stated, you had wear on the *OUTSIDE* edge of the tire and you have negative camber? I have to say that doesn't sound right and I don't think an alignment will address it. Bad toe eats the *INSIDE* edge of the tire.

Have you checked your tire pressure? If they have gotten insanely low, then wear is a bit inpredictable. However outside wear is typically due to under-inflation which causes the tire to cup and you wear the edges of the tire, but not the middle.

Verify tire pressures before getting the alignment.
