is everything else in the suspension stock ? because im gonna be in the same boat as you very soon.. looking to lower but i wanna make sure the only thing i have to buy other then the shocks are CC plates
DougNuts: Goood... because my fronts are too far in at the top, it isn't that noticeable however the entire inside wall is toast on the tires and they need to get replaced...
I didn't explain well enough. Caster is the front to back movement of the CC plate, camber is was tilts the top of your tire in. You want as much caster as possible. Too much camber can wear the inside of your tires, but it sounds like you probably have a toe issue. Maybe toe out?

H&R supersports... my suspension (shocks & struts) are doing great... I'll get on the back of the car and give it a shake... it's pretty responsive with little body roll... Now... I don't know how long that will last, it's been a year with the new springs. And I do know lowering the car is harsher on the spring setup... i'll probably be due for shocks/struts shortly.

Hm...
I'm learning... it might be a toe issue... what's toe? Giving what you just told me now, I need LESS camber... The top of the wheel is too far inward making the inner tirewall wear abnormally quick... if that makes any sense.

You have too much negative camber (it is negative vs positive, not too much or too little as people keep referring to).
Toe is the relative displacement change from the back of the tires to the front of the tires. You can see it on Joe's sheet where the toe setting is listed and has a little picture (the view is that of a bird, from above the car lookin down at the tires).
