Default struts ruining alignment??

ok so im lowered on h&r springs with stock struts, and im getting a lot of wear on the inside edge of my tires on my 00 civic coupe. i kno i need a camber kit in the rear, but in the front all i really need is toe adjusted. but my question is, my struts arent the best and need to be replaced in the next 6 months, theyre almost blown but still ride half decent because of the springs. will the bounciness knock my alignment out and there for be a waste of money for me to get one??

worn out struts should not affect your toe angle.

you should get a wheel alignment anyway........a simple toe adjustment is cheap rather than replacing tires constantly.
