Default Tire wear on Tanabe Springs QUESTION?

Just about 6 months ago, 8,000 miles, I installed Tanabe lowering springs and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. The tread on the left rear tire (see pic) has worn excessively. I am going to MR Tire this week, but I know they will say no warranty, its a mechanical problem. Looking for any opinions on what the problem might be. I keep the tire pressure at 33psi cold. The rear tires are 265/35 ZR19's. These tires have about 8,000 miles on them.

Right rear, normal wear.

Left rear with excessive wear.

Some SPC camber arms will partially help with that.

A lot of people pair the SPC arms with springs and coils.

We have them in stock ready to ship.

What are your alignment specs? I suspect that your toe is out of spec

Could be a few things:
Is the ride height identical on both sides? Did you preload the suspension before torquing the bolts?
Did you install adjustable camber arms when you did the springs? There is no factory camber adjustment, so without it, most folks see uneven wear after lowering.
