That's not true. You can tell where the tire is scrubbing by just looking at it - the pattern and direction of the scuff will change.
If its wearing the inside that means you have too much negative camber from lowering it. Depending on what springs you went with you might not need aftermarket CC plates, but I would recommend them anyway, it's nice being able to add more caster while keeping the camber the same (greatly can increase steering feel).
ok...its a 2000 gt vert....i used h&r super sports...and i been driving it for about a week now....everything is aligned and straight...just wears on the inside slightly...

You need CC plates and an alignment then. Did you actually go get it aligned, or are you just saying that it "looks aligned"?

Everyone talks about camber when they see uneven tire wear. Yes excessive camber will cause uneven tire wear, but toe is much more critical and will cause rapid uneven tire wear if not correct, because your tires are actually dragging sideways instead of rolling straight ahead. When you lower your car, you get toe out. It's a must to get your alignment done after lowering, especially anything more than a 1 1/4" drop. Toe in will cause outside tire wear, and toe out will cause inside tire wear. The tires may also show signs of feathering. If you don't get an alignment, and your tire wear is ok, your lucky.
