I bought my car with springs already in it so im not sure how much lower than stock it is, but my tires are starting to wear real fast. I got the car with pretty much brand new tires on it a few months ago and the inside of the back tires wore down really quick. Im not sure if it needs to be aligned or if i need a camber kit. Also today i realized my front tires are doing the same. Any input would help im just not sure what to do with what i got right now. Thanks
 
When you lower a car (depending on how much), the camber goes negative and the wheels and tries point inwards towards the control arms. There's only so much that an alignment can do once again depending on how low it is. Having a camber kit gives an alignment shop the ability to dial in the correct settings and stop the severe tire wear you're experiencing on the inside of the tire.

If you want, go to http://www.vfaq.com and you'll find some links for a DIY camber kit with longer bolts and washers for spacing. If the front is really out, you'll likely need a camber kit for that separately.

Good luck,

Andy
