	this pic shows one of my front coilovers before i fitted them. see the top bolt hole?? thats what gives you the camber adjustment. but as yours is just springs and shocks you wont have the longer hole to adjust camber. i had the same prob on my old mk3 astra,used to go through the inside of tyres like theres no tommorow.

	Probably camber is a touch out as its lowered. Unless you have adjustment you might not be able to do much about it.

	hello, basically i replaced my tyres about a good 4-5 months ago now. and the inside of the tyres are getting low and the outside have still got like 4-5mm left. i also had my tracking done not long after i had new tyres fitted. and ive not once kerb my car neither. so is this down to having a lowered car as well?
