Do you get negative camber wear even with a mild drop?

I usually drive my car around with what would be equal to about a 1.5" drop...and my back tires really show wear in the inner most edge very quickly. I would say they are bald after about 6k miles....only about the inner 1" of the tire. Anyone have this issue or is my toe probably off or something causing them to wear prematurely. Thanks in advance.

i think it may be toe. i had the same kind of wear in the front only with comptech springs. after an aligment, it was discovered that the toe was way off.

the rears wore normally.

You should get an alignment and go into an alignment place with the specs you daily drive at.. if you need a camber kit I say get one but I ride slammed and no camber problems at all..

Htown, he has hydros... His ride height is constantly changing. It would be pointless for him to get an alignment. Perhaps a toe check would help? I have 19's with a 0.5 negative chamber and I definatly see that the rear tires are wearing more so on the inside than the outside. Also I am noticing that the rears are wearing faster. Don't know why. I'll have to rotate soon. I would recommend a toe check pumped.
