Camber Kit needed maybe? SEARCHED

https://www.torontointegras.ca/forum...ghlight=camber
just a few searches that I found relevant for my post
Anyway, my suspension setup right now is Tein S Tech Springs with 1st Generation Tokico Illumina (White) Shocks, OEM bushings, OEM Control arms. CV joints, inner and outer tie rods on both sides have been replaced, 1 finger gap all around
In June of 2007 I got new tires Falken Ziex 512 mounted on 17" rims (sorry do not know the offset) and by seasons end (June-Oct) probably 10,000km driven the inner edge of my two front tires were worn down to almost the radial, and the two rear tires are still intact with about 90% of tread left.
Tires were balanced and a front alignment was done
I thought it was toe wear that would wear tires out on the inside edge, however people have been telling me to get a camber kit and that would fix my problem.
I have never seen tires wear out so quickly before, my old set were Falken Ziex 502 (generation before 512) and those tires lasted longer than the new ones I got.
Now my question would I need to get a camber kit to fix this problem of accelerated inner tire wear? or was it a crappy alignment job, or could have something threw my alignment off due to the low ride height and 17's? combination of everything?
I need to get a new set of winter tires and I find no point in buying a set and watching them wear down within 1 season last my summers have, tires aren't cheap lol
Any help is appreciated

did you get the alignment before or after you lowered the car? lowering the car does affect the toe and not just Camber. get an alignment first cuz toe out chews up tires faster than negative Camber does.

Lowered cars dont always need camber kits, unless you throw it on coilovers or springs w/ Adjustable shocks and then SLAM IT, if its just lke OEM shocks and aftermarket springs then theres no need for a camber kit, in this case, yea, go get the alignment, it might have just been a crappy alignment job, cuz that happens a lot. So go ahead with that, and let us know what happens.
