This is why I need a rear camber kit
These are pics of my rear tires. DAMN I am lucky I didn't blow em!
Got the stocks on till the camber kit comes and I can replace the rims. They were all dented in the same spot pretty bad. Damn MD Highways.

i dont' think thats your camber... I think you got the wrong wheel offset, but i'm not sure.

i kinda agree with steve because my friend drove with no camber kit for a year and still his tires didn't do that and he dropped his car on skunk coil overs and was slammed...even lower than my car and i have a 2.5-3 inch drop...his tires were tucked and still wasn't that bad...he just recently got rims...maybe it is your offset of the rims....

Rep Power: 0 Man, just had my Goldlines installed yesterday. My front end doesn't quite sit like yours. I better check and see that this guy cut the bump stops.
Anyway, the Goldline web page (www.goldlineonline.com) shows the coupes as NOT needing a camber kit. Although, I was talking with Jeff at Goldline (since my front end sits high) and he told me it might be a good idea if you put a kit on it. As for the front sitting higher then the back, they offered to just send me 2 rear springs for a sedan and that would raise me 5/8" and probably level me out.
Not much lower then the Pro Kit I just took off. I hope they settle a bit so I can get a full 1.75" - 2.0" drop.
Good luck dude.
You might want to have the rear alignment checked again as it might be the "caster" and not the "camber" that's making the tires wear so fast.
