Default Toe out of spec....

So I put new tires like 5 1/2 months ago, got an alignment and everything was cool......Today I checked my brakes and tires and my toe is out of spec again and eating my tires really bad .

Now my question is: Why is the toe out of spec so quickly? I just daily drive it normally. Is this bound to happen every five months ?

My suspension consists of GC coilovers....only, no camber kit

when you say you got it checked along with your brakes and tires, they put it on an alignment rack to check the toe?

have you changed your ride height since putting the GC on and getting the alignment?

No, my drivers side tire is getting worn in the very very inner edge, thats what happens when the toe is out of spec. On the passenger side the tire is wearing evenly and nice.

One thing I noticed was that on the drivers side its maybe 0.25" lower than the passenger side...

well, whenever the ride height changes, toe changes.
