Default Camber Question please help!

Alrite my car had bad camber from the time i bought it until now. The previous owner put coilovers on the car and slammed it down really low now im going through tires like it was nothing. If i switched over to performance lowering springs would this solve or fix my bad camber in anyway? The performance springs lower my car 2.25 in the front and 2.00 in the back or 1.8 in the front and 1.4 in the back... please answer!

edit: just lower it 2-2.5 inches, and get an alignment, you will be fine with that.

The thing is the previous owner put crap half *** coilovers adjusted only by allen wrenches... the thing is when i previously attempted to raise the car I had found that one of the sockets for the allen wrench (driver side front) was stripped and couldnt be adjusted... I didnt want my car to be raised on 3 tires and lowered in 1 so i just left it... I found a great deal on yokahama radials for my LS rims and I really dont want to go through these tires due to my bad camber so I am deciding to go w/ springs... I wanted to make sure if I get lowering springs to take the place of these crap coilovers that it will help fix my bad camber and my car can finally be realigned

You really should get a camber kit. Even if it was lowered 1.5-2 inches, you probably would still have negative camber. So just fork out the extra dough and do it right.
