Camber problem

I just bought an a4 with koni coilovers on and previous owner had problems with the inside of the tires wearing out faster, he didnt care, he just bought new tires every 3000 miles, i am not rich and i cant affor new tires every few months. I know the camber isnt right, its also sitting on 19" racingharts 235/35/19 nitto tires. I havent had time to look if there are camber plates already on the a4, if there arent are their aftermarket camber plates. I am new to Audi's, i have a lot to learn. First european ride. Also are there any good website out there for aftermarket parts.
thanks

i had the same problem with my ford..............

i lowered it with spax springs and had a set of 17s. Every 6 months or so the tires had worn right down on the outside edge. I took the car everywhere locally to get laser alighnment, but they all said the same, when a car is lowered it automatically sets the tracking off slightly and they have no way of telling where to re track it to. They said they could try to alter it but it could make me go through tires quicker if they got it wrong.

I tried different tire brands to see if they would last longer but no joy. In the end i just put up with it. In 2 and half years i went through about 4 or 5 pairs of front tyres. I never touched the rears.

I have sold my escort and got a 1999.5 A4, have again lowered it and put 19s on it. At the moment they have only been on 3 weeks and its too soon to really tell if they are wearing, but im keeping a close eye on them!
