Its not the strut size that makes it need to be aligned. its the amount of drop. When you drop it the top of the wheel leans in, C/C plates are needed to fix that. Its the ANGLE of the strut that counts.

If the outside of the tires are wearing out camber needs to be adjusted, too much positive I believe.

Adam, Eric is right. (BTW, did you get my Corral PM about those CC plates?).

Anyhow, the springs are what largely establish ride height. The dampers and tire wear come into play if you're getting wheel hop or other anomalies.

Do you have a picture of your tire (taken from right in front of the tire)?

Wearing the outside of the tire might be a camber or toe issue. Or someone could have set excessive toe-in to combat excessive LCA bushing deflection.

Good luck.
