Rear Tires Premature Wear (Inner)
What are you guys doing to combat this? I already know about FIGS front LCA bushings. What about for the rear tires? I have inner tire wear.

Rears are lowered with Eibach springs long ago. Tires are 275/35-19. Which camber kit do you suggest? FIGS has a set of rear toe links. Is that it?

If the toe was not checked after being lowered, that could explain some. If the rear ended up with toe-out.
Many can run -1.25 to -1.75° negative camber without issues.
Let us know what the numbers are or stand a nice big square up by the rear tire while on level ground and our calibrated eye-anglemeter will ball park it for you!

The car did have alignment after lowering. Its been a while since my last alignment though. I did tell them I wanted toe in. I'll have to search for my last alignment sheet. But that could be off by now. I can also take pics so your eye-meter can judge it.

Just found last alignment results. Rear left camber is -1.4 and rear right is -1.7. Lowered with Eibach springs only so nothing drastic. I was thinking of buying SPC 67520. It says it can go to +- 1.5 deg. I guess this should be enough since the goal is to set it to 0 deg.
Toe is .16” on both sides. These values are a few years old.

If the toe is really 0.16" total, that should combat inner wear. How many miles when the edges were torn up?
At most I would do the camber kits to get a -0.75 maybe -0.50 or the back won't stick in the corners.
Honestly you need a current as found camber toe, and jack the pressure up until you blow the centers out. Take a picture of both rear tires. I want to see the edges...

I'm going to install RC F LCA bushings on front end next week. Then I will get an alignment do make sure rear is toe in. I will share the alignment results here. Then I will monitor closely for toe wear. Hopefully I will not need a camber kit for the rear.

Got the RC F LCA bushings installed. Decided not to install a rear camber kit and just go with alignment. Hopefully no more toe wear. Just got the alignment done. I’m not an alignment expert but it looks that it’s all toe in now. I’ll let you guys tell me if I should be good now.
