Default Suspension problems? Camber problem??

After i got my car lowered with tanabe gf210's ...i experienced some differences.

When coming to a stop the car will pull to the right or left depending on the ground...like torque steer and now im experiencing camber wear on my front left tire...but its not smooth wear on the inside corner....its more of a up and down wear...its hard to explain....sort of like more tread then less tread and then more tread again (---_---_----_). Also have a little bit of wear in the left rear as well.

What causes the pulling of the car when I hit a little uneven ground?
...its very strong and somewhat like torque steer...

why the wear only on the left side (just by chance)?

And finally why the goofy tread wear on the front left?

The car as become tiresome to drive due to the torque steering and its quite annoying....also i have 19x8.5/9.5 rims with 245/275 bridgestone potenza s-03's which are really loud.

im sorry if this is really confusing but its hard to explain the whole ordeal.

Also, my alignment specs I believe from my last alignment were:

FL -1.4
FR -1.6
LR -2.1
RR -2.4

front toe .05
rear toe .10

do these look ok?

If your alignment is off from one side to the other it will pull. I would say that your camber is causing the your problem from your specs.

Your tire wear you are describing sounds like the tires are on backwards. Can't remember if the potenza's are uni-directional or not?

Your rear camber tells me that you should be seeing a lot of wear on the inside of both rear tires.
Your left side will wear more than the right due to the differential on the Z, so it sounds like you like to spin the tires a lot.

thanks for the advice.

but....i never spin my tires...and my rears are barely wearing...the right rear is perfectly fine...and the left rear just as a little bit of wear....but nothing compared to the front left which is almost bald on the inside...and i checked before...the tires are all n straight and going forward.
