Well I put front camber kits on today, as well as the Track R's since winter is done.

I did purchase the camber kits lightly used, and whomever removed them from their car must have gave them a love tap from a hammer because both sides has the bottom threads pounded in......................................

I spent a good portion of the day finding the pitch of those threads, buying a tap and die set, and redoing both sides before I could both the car together.

Swapped these on, because of...

This:

Camber looked pretty good after I lowered the car it but, seems to be wearing badly on front left.

I never did get an alignment. The car seemed jumpy after lowering it, but still drove straight. I'll put the rear camber kits on soon and pay for an alignment.
Any one know of a deal on alignments right now?

You corded those tires so quickly due to negative toe, not negative camber. Whenever ride height is changed the angle and length of the tie rod changes. In your case, the tie rod got shorter. Which pulled the rear of the front wheel inward (negative toe) and causing the excessive inner edge wear on the tire. I can also tell that negative toe corded those tires based on your description of how the can handled after you lowered it. Cars with negative toe tend to track with imperfections in the pavement due to both front wheels trying to travel in different directions.

I wouldn't bother with a camber kit unless cross camber is more the .5 degrees on the front. Just take it to get rear and front toe set and you won't have excessive tire wear anymore.

Thanks Rob! I was thinking it was more a toe issue myself but, as you explained, that's exactly how it went down. Again a big thanks for explaining this, I've seen you discuss it before but this confirms my next steps. Can't wait to stop tracking those imperfections!
