Default Suspension Problem

My VR6 is chewing up tires in the front. I don't think its a camber problem, because the tires are wearing evenly. They are just wearing extreamly fast. About 2500 miles. My car is lowered on Bilstien Gas Shocks and Nuespeed race springs. I have a camber kit in it. I did hit a curb about a month ago. I took it to just tires to get an alignment and they said something like a lower control arm could be bent or something. Guys please help

What kind of tires are they? What's the treadwear rating?

When you got the alignment was your front toe out of spec? That can cause rapid tire wear, though it remains even.

No street tire should wear out in 2500 miles.

Definately have the toe specs checked out. I had the same problem, bought a brand new set of studless snow tires and had my car aligned at les schwabb cause I raised it for winter, and after about 3 weeks the fronts were almost completely bald. Took it back and got two new front tires, then took it to a different place to get it aligned again the right way. The tech there said both front tires were toe'ed in a considerable amount.
