Default My tires are wearing on the inside only..........?

My car has Eibach springs and my tires are very worn on only the inside part of the tires on the front. They seem to sit straight up and down with no camber but maybe they dont. Is the camber the only thing that could be causing this? They are not wearing the outsides, just the insides.

Is it both front and rear or only one of the two?

Im sure its just the front, the rear won't wear differently on a lowered car, only the front because of the a-arm design. get an alignment, if you've dropped much more than an inch or so you won't be able to get it right without CC plates, but you should get it close enough not to notice any long term bad wear if its not much more than an inch.

You need a good alignment, but don't bring it to one of those "normal" places like Tire Kingdom or whatever, they will do your alignment like they do a Toyota Camry's, the fact that your car is lowered affects this greatly, take it to someone who knows specifically what to do for lowered cars, if you lived in Florida I would recommend a really good place, but oh well...

Camber will be the most signifigant cause of it, but toe will to... camber affects toe.. so if your camber is way off .. then the toe will likely be as well...
