Features:
1.2-inch drop
Reduces body roll without sacrificing ride quality
Works with OE shock absorbers & performance shock absorbers
Made from Chrome Vanadium
Powder coated finish
1-year Warranty
Includes rubber silencers for some applications

Hmm thats weird your toe and camber shouldnt be to far off to cause tire shredding....I hope some experts can chime in , those numbers look good to me..
Im running -2 camber up front and -3 in back and my tires are cool for a 30k miles.

I just read all 22 pages, it looks like dozens of people on here are having the same issues as I am, I read a post that suggested replacing strut rod caster arm bushings, he said to replace the arm and the bushings. I also read another member replaced his bushings with Daizen and LTuned. I did the Daizen steering rack bushings but nothing else. Does anyone know what other bushings should be replaced? I guess I need to look for strut rod caster arm bushings.

they are talking about the castor arms bushing....thats what figs is working on a replacement spherical bushing.
But i think the symtoms are more losing alignment then shredding tires.
Start a new thread maybe someone can pin point your problem,

Here’s how low I roll
Here’s my alignment shop setting up my SPC a-Arms in front and Exact adjustable RCA’s in the rear.
Note the drop level of my car in this pic. I'm on 20's with 285's in back and 235's in front. No fender pull just Full shave in back and slight roll in front. I have Zero rub FRONT AND REAR including turning the front wheels fully locked and driving one wheel up on wooden blocks with the car up in the air on just the one front wheel. Again ZERO RUB front and rear.
Here’s the alignment read out for the front.
Camber = GREEN within Factory Spec
Toe= GREEN within Factory Spec
* Note that caster is not in spec, but this is not a big concern.
Here’s the alignment read out for the rear.
Camber = GREEN within Factory Spec
Toe= GREEN within Factory Spec
Thanks to SPC(Adjustable Upper A-Arms) and Exact Motorsport (Adjustable rear RCA) and Figs (adjustable toe links). Additional shout outs to Tire Outlet in San Jose for the alignment.
20k + miles on these tires at this ride height with no tire flipping, zero tire rub front and rear and even tire wear ALL ACROSS THE TREAD ? ==== NO PROBLEM

Honestly I don't remember, but if I get a chance I'll update the post when i find out. I can tell you the offsets are relatively conservative. Since I am into handling / performance, I don't run aggressive stretch and I am running negligible camber, so as a result offsets would not be aggressive as well.
