Do you guys think bringing my suspension up a couple grooves on my bilsteins...

will help decrease the horrible wear i'm getting on the inside edge of the tires. I'm on the lowest groove right now. I was looking closely at the tires today and they clearly have quite a bit of camber just to my naked eye. I just can't justify buying 200 dollar tires every year. I just put on brand new PS2's this afternoon. Had 451's before...man, they were getting soooooo loud.

Why not get a camber kit?

too much toe-in can cause that as well.

I thought toe-in would wear the outside edge not inside?
