Did you get an alignment after you put everything on?

You have too much negative camber. Get an aligment. They probably won't be able to fix the camber all the way. If you want it fixed all the way, get a camber kit and an alignment.

its not really camber. its the toe eating up your tire.... your draging them basicaly sideways....
just go get a alignment and tell them to do there best, but the camber is not adjustable on stock .... and if you ever adjust your coilovers again then get a alignment again right afterwards!

your draging the center corner of the tires to the steel belts. NOT GOOD! so now you probably gotta get new tires! a alignment is ALWAYS cheaper than new tires!

Yeah, it's your toe that's destroying the tires. Get it set back to factory specs at an alignment shop and you're good to go. Trust me, I'm rocking 3* of negative camber all around with no premature tire wear.
