I recently replaced dead stock shocks with GR2+Eibach Pro Kit springs on all 4 corners.
It lowered about 1.3" and looked nicer now.
The handling was great but now "left" turn handles bad along with "unsafe feeling" when
pushing it hard. I looked at the driverside front wheel and its topside is pushing more to outer side(hence, positive camber). WTF
I remember going sprited driving along the Pacific Ocean canyons for a full day.
Ever since then this issue cropped up. I might've hit a few potholes in a odd angle. But that's about it.
I looked under side of car and I don't see anything bent. I know when lowering cars it gives more negative camber. So I'm stumped on this. The tire tread is sort of "chunking off" at the outer edge, plus "pull to the left" syndrome. I haven't got the alignment done yet due to this issue(if camber is adjustable, I would've).
?1 - Can "sprited driving" for a long time cause tire wear on outer side to make it look like "positive camber"?
?2 - Can hitting a pothole in a wrong angle cause this?
Thanks,

I'd highly recommend. Here's the pic of GR2.
