hey daft i've had the same experience. my groovy bilsteins are set at max height and they still scrub the inners. toe is dead on [at least according to a fairly reputable wheel /alignment shop].

1more - in not sure what you're doing right that i'm not, but i'm starting to suspect something is generally amiss with my suspension and i'm leaning toward going back to stock sport as it's designed to work on this car.

as another data point a friend with stasis motorsports [also a very well designed system] and a 25.5" fender height has very minimal inner wear. so maybe it's the lowering springs?

and 400 is crazy for a tre and alignment. 1/2 hour with a torch should free it up. or overnight with pbblaster and a LOT of cursing. man i dont miss working on rusty cars AT ALL.

This is also on a tire with a 400 treadwear rating.

My OEM sport suspension allowed tires to last closer to 20K miles before hitting the wear indicators.
