That looks like toe problems not just camber, considering how it wore so hard into the corner at an angle.

I've cut my hands on that stuff before. I can't believe people drive with tires like that. Oh, wait. Haulers do it all the time....

you are on GF210s correct? Did you get it aligned? I have 18000 miles on GF210s and 15000 of those were on Stockers and my stockers wore 95% even if not 100%.. just giving room for error. Either way, that looks like severe toe problems like what 350zephr said. Although on my last car I had T1-Rs, with same -1.8 camber like I have on the Z, but it wore like that.. I found the cause to be low tire pressure. Low tire pressure + soft side wall + negative camber = EXTREME excessive wear on the inner tires.. I'm willing to bet that tire pressure was on the low side.. T1-Rs are too soft. One side had 20 something psi and the other had 30 something, and the 20 side wore out like a *****..

Now that i've looked at the pictures again, I can almost guarantee that was because of low tire pressure and weak sidewall.. if you look at the sidewall you can see the flexing and folding where it touched the ground and created an extreme rubbing to the ground.

I'm actually gonna say that it's not just bad camber wear. I'm sure its a bunch of other factors involved.
Any recommendations for alignments for lowered cars? And how much am I looking at?
And yes, I'm only lowered on GF210s.
