You may have toe-in...which causes inner tire wear....the stock toe arms are adjustable, using a bolt similar to the oem camber bolt. It may not have enough range due to lowering, so adjustable toe arms with even more range will be needed to adjusts your toe back to spec range.
Inner wear may be caused by negative camber as well. Again, the OEM camber bolt is limited in range, esp if the car is lowered. To gain more range, you need either an RCA kit, or adjustable lower arms.
Good luck.

So i finally installed these links from FIGS. install was very easy however i misunderstood what theses links do. After taking it to an alignment shop again, they stated that they could not get my camber into spec. I spoke with Mike from Figs and he stated that these links correct Bump Steer and toe. I didnt have an issue with either of these. My issue was camber. So i am still stuck with a car that cant be aligned and i am not putting my new tires on it until i get the alignment corrected. This f-ing sucks. All this $$ just to lower 2 inches. Ive spent more than i want to spend on this car, so as far as an update my friends this is as good as it gets.
So i guess the next step is to get RCA's. or just go back to stock and say forget it.

Man, reading your post makes me worried. I haven't drive my 3GS since I installed the Megan springs, but I should wait until I get my camber fixed also.
Have you decided which company you'll go with for the camber correction issue? I'm going to have a pull and roll on the rear fenders to accommodate the rubbing from the camber fixture as well.

Exact RCA's. If you go this route it will lower your car more. I haven't purchased yet no plans to purchase unless I get a good deal. For now I'm just taking it easy with my driving.
