Well my car has been out of commission until i put a new fuel pump in and now its running right, but the alignment is still off.

It has an eibach pro-kit and mm c/c plates but the shop that did it said that was as far as they could get it aligned and the wheels still are farther apart on the ground than the top, I guess that's the best i can really explain it. So they wear the inside of the tires more.

What helps to correct this, a bumpsteer kit?
 
Fox or SN95?

What spec are you at? At or under 1.0* neg camber should be fine (you will always want to have the tops of the tires closer, as you describe it).
 
go to another shop. they dont know their a$$hole from their elbow most likely. Maybe they dont even know what a cc plate is or what to adjust. i have ford racing c-springs with 1/2 more coil cut off the fronts and i dont even run cc plates. my alignment is good
 
As stated above, you will want some neg. camber. (Tops in) (-.5 to -1.0 give or take) I have run into a few Mustangs that had CC Plates installed wrong. If the factory bump stops/boot are not changed/removed, they will be pulled up into the hole in the strut tower and you will not be able to move the strut in and out (Camber) or front and back (Caster) enough to get it in spec.

Is it a stock fox suspension??
 
All stock suspension other than the pro kit. I do have some bumpsteer so maybe a kit isn't a bad idea anyways. i'm gonna take it to a different shop when I install those, maybe then they can figure out what is goin on. the c/c plates did help a little, but apparently not enough. I'll be sure to get a sheet with the alignment next time too.

and btw that IS me, I was drunk, no lines or smokin for this guy. and who doesn't work on their car while having a couple beers?
