I think you're right. I have never heard of anything even close to adjustable links for our cars until this thread

There are no camber adjustment kits for the ISx50 at this time.

Besides, camber's not the problem. Toe is.

Yah, same here, inner wear is pretty bad with the Eibachs in the front.

But I don't think 30psi is low enough for what you're describing...it has to be something else.
Isn't Factory spec 37psi in the rear and 35psi in front?

Yep...but 35/37 is a long shot from 30.

Wow, something's wrong - I've had my 350 Eibachs for over 2 years, and I've never had any uneven wear problems. My stock tires have over 25,000 miles on them (of which 18,000 came riding on Eibachs) and the tires are still useable.

I do have one question. Are you spinning your tires? Sounds like you are. I agree an occasional spin isn't going to do that, but you spin enough and you will see wear. I think you ask 10 people on here what their definition of driving hard is and you will get 10 different answers. I have a friend that went through a couple sets of rear tires and would swear his tires were defective. He used to spin his tires all the time. But he never saw it that way. Either way, go have the alignment checked by an different shop like everyone suggest and see what they have to say.

I don't understand on some of these threads where people say they have a problem, other members offer a lot of good suggestions, but they just keep complaining about it and don't seem to follow the very advice they ask for.

Why you scare about the horrible tire wear? If ya worry about rubbing, scrape, or bald tire then dont LOWER IT..

I've had pro-kits on my car for around 4000 miles and haven't had a problem with tire wear. I agree, I think the psi is too low.
