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?
