abnormal camber wear
Just as the header states, I have noticed some abnormal wear with my Tein CS coilovers. I had installed them about 6 months ago and got alignment a week after it settled. The car is lowered about 2.25". But within 6-7k miles can the tires wear this unevenly? Or did I just get a poor alignment job. Pic shows diagnostic from the alignment I got when I lowered the car and pictures of the tire. I just got the 2 front tires flipped for the time being until I figure out a fix and get new tires, so pics show wear on outside it's due to the flip. Rears are wearing decently for the most part. Let me know of your thoughts.

Mike ... I've had alignments that were not accurate even though the printout showed within specs. Dealer alignment machine must be calibrated exactly and periodically. Then the tech has to do setup correctly and precisely. So there are points for error. I go to a Lexus dealer for alignments since they have the most sophisticated alignment equipment. I've gone back when not satisfied and they get it right.

Hey brotha ... aside from the coilovers what other suspension mods have you done? I have researched much on the LS but on the 2IS there are products available to help minimize excessive camber wear when lowered the Figs Engineering produces.
Inspect your tie rods and or replace.
