Default inner tire wear on 94 civic

hi, i just wanted to get some opinions on what can cause this inner tire wear, I have a 94 civic hatch back with 15 inch rims with 195 50 15 tires and the car is maybe a 2 to 2 1/4 inch drop in the front with stock shock and ebay coil over with spring everything else is stock, ive already been through 2 sets of tires and now on the third one and the inner side of the tires are wearing out pretty fast just like the two last sets.. i wana get this fix cause im running low on ends to buy new tires...

Yes. When you lower a double-wishbone Honda, both camber and toe change. Negative camber is fine. It's the toe that kills tires fast, and also just so happens to be the only factory-adjustable alignment setting. Get the toe adjusted to factory specs via 4-wheel alignment and you should be good. Also remember to rotate your tires front-to-back every 5K miles or so.
