Advice Needed - Camber out of Spec

What do you see the tires doing? Toe could be out causing the wear instead. Have it checked out if you see abnormal wear. Then go from there

The tech claimed they are wearing on the inside edges more than outside, thus saying the camber was out of spec. I haven't had a chance to look closely myself, but I am skeptical...especially since we can't adjust the camber and the suspension/tires are 100% stock. Could be toe, thanks for the heads up.

I have a feeling the weight of the turbo kit is causing the front of the car to drop and throwing the camber out of alignment. Guess I will have to order a camber kit.

Maybe. I know TT kits are about what? 125lbs+?

Yup, I would guess it adds about a 100 lbs total with what gets removed vs. added. Here is what my tires look like...any advice on camber kit brands?
