wow indeed...you need a wheel alignment up front and camber kits for the front and rear. your toe is def off from the lowering. it cannot be adjusted with the factory parts (not enough anyways). how do you lower the car and NOT know it will affect tire wear without proper adjustments?

you dont need a camber kit. just fix the toe with an alignment.
you do not need to buy anything to adjust toe.

the car is lowered...camber is negative..tire wear issue. the fact that theres coil overs in back and reg. lowering springs up front doesnt help either. id get a camber kit but guess not everybody has money for extra parts.

no, the wear is because of bad toe. not camber. negative camber is good.

i dont care to have another debate on this. its been proven many times.

Your shocks are bad causing wheel hop which is the cause of the tires going bad.
