Have you ever had it aligned by a competent shop? It could be caused by improper toe angle. I wouldn't imagine those springs would lower you enough to cause extreme camber then uneven tire wear. I have YYZ springs and while yours are probably lower I can't even get -2 camber with camber bolts. Seems like the best place to start would be a proper alignment. The alignment shop should be able to tell you what you need to do to correct the issue.

^this. Def take it to a good shop, I had some no name springs that rode lower than sportlines and had no issues with inside tire wear, but I got an alignment within 100miles of getting the springs installed.

i ran sportlines for 2 years, they then got passed along to both of my buddies and all we ever needed was an alignment. they definitely didnt drop enough to give any camber lol. get an alignment and youll be fine.

i noticed while i had the car up that its tilted inward even wen its not on the ground. sooo yea i think i gotta jack the knuckle up a little bit n tilt it outwards wen i put the bottom strut bolt in n i think it should fix it possibly :/

If you're just eyeballing your alignment that is your problem. Nobody here can help you with that. Get a proper alignment and you should be good to go. Or keep guessing/winging it and chewing up tires. It's up to you.

Besides a quality alignment on a good alignment machine, with the general age and mileage on many of the cars you might also want to make sure the suspension bushings are still in good shape. If you massively drop a car and can't get alignment within reasonable specs you'd easily burn through tires pretty quick, but if it can be aligned it shouldn't wear prematurely unless there's something else going on (suspension component wear or damage, tires/offset too aggressive, cheap tire brand/model/compound, etc.)

While there's ways to do alignments at home or at the track and get somewhat close you need some special equipment and it won't turn out as well as a good alignment rack/machine and a skilled tech. I'd second the comment about not trying to make eyeball changes.

i haven't eyed out my alignment i was originally thinking i needed camber bolts for the alignment shop to get my steering knuckle back to the stock abount of camber of -1 degrees er whatever it was. i am going to replace all the cab's b4 i go in and i have enkei ekm3's that are a 40 mm offset wit a 235 40 18
