Default alignment question

i got an alignment like a month ago my car was like 2" dropped and i didnt have no problem w/ wearing the tires from the inside but i decided to drop it a lil bit more like 2.25" and now is wearing the tires alot i mean did i mess up the alignment by lowering it more the reason why im asking this is because my friend has an HX and he has never gotten an alignment before and his car is even lower than mine and the tires are just fine no kamber kit no nothing (I have a 99 civic dx though)

well u really cant compare the two cars, look at the wear- if its only on hte inside or outside of the tires, you need a camber kit (it gets worse the more u lower it)

Any time you lower your suspension with springs you will create negative camber. But in my mind i can't see how you lowering it another .25" would throw your camber off enough to make that much of a difference. Are you sure you didn't mess with anything else? When you lowered the car did you have to take the suspension apart? If you did then yes you may have messed your previous alignment up.
