Front tire wear - camber
While having some curb rash fixed on my front wheel, the tech pointed out I'm getting major premature wear on the innermost side of my tire. You could start to see the steel belts poke through. The rest of the tire looked fine. I am lowered with KW HAS kit. Rear tires are wearing evenly.
Put new tires on and the car is squirrely up front. I assume this is due to the negative camber up front? If it is the camber, any products you guys recommend? Do I need to invest in a good set of camber plates or will an alignment take care of the problem?
Thanks in advance for the help

Car was lowered 3yrs ago and aligned properly after it was lowered. I'll do another alignment and see if they can get it back to reasonable specs. The rears are fine. I know this since I'm mounting new rear tires as we speak.

If rears are good then you should definitely be able to get the fronts back in spec without going to any aftermarket parts.
