Default Tire Feathering, or something else? *Pics inside*

Well it's been a while since I've been on the forums, but I've got a quick question though - and I'm pretty sure this is obvous, but still wanted to double-check.

As you can see from the pics below, the inside track (front tires, Toyo T1-S 245/35/19's) of my tires are completely worn down to the metal. So first thing I thought is - Front cambit kit time. I have Volk LE-37T's, and dropped 1.25" on espelir springs. Otherwise, no suspension mods (even though I have had two alignments done) But obviously, the front tires were worn out very fast -- my two rear tires have been holding up just fine.

My question is - is this tire feathering? Or is there something else that is wearing away at my tires? Some other people who looked at it also thought I need to get Front Arm adjustments too, but I just wanted to make sure that's what would solve this problem.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've mixed reviews on several kits, but as of now (because I doubt I can afford the 350evo or stillen kits) I'm leaning toward the Kinetix front upper arms.

Thanks in advance,

drew

If you dropped your car 1.25", then you need the camber kit.. no questions..
