Default Tire wear problems

Okay, so when I bought my 2002 civic three years ago, I had to get the tires replaced because they had worn funny. The inside would wear a lot faster than the outside. Thinking it was alignment problems, I had the car re-aligned. Two years later, I have noticed that the tires are still wearing on the inside when they are on the front. I don't know what the deal is. I was thinking it could be the ball joints or tie rod ends, but I also noticed that my car has been lowered. So it could be the previous owner had cut the springs. Anybody have any ideas on which is causing my problem, or whether it maybe something else??
Thanks,
Katrina

well if the springs look stock and it is lower then id definatly look into some new springs or if you like the lowered look get some nice lowering springs that are made to be lowered

if they cut or torched the springs that could be why.... only one way to see is to pull them and replace them and hope that was the problem...

if it was the balljoints the alignment shop should be able to tell you if they have slop....

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I took the tires off and looked at the springs and shocks and it looks as if my front shocks are pretty worn and bad.
