yes, when lowering these cars you will increase camber and wear out the inside of your tyres. the only thing you can do is raise the car to lower the camber, or buy some sort of aftermarket adjustment such as an SS Kit or adjustable arms.

the wheel shake is a whole other topic in itself, and has a large thread on these forums. could be a number of things including alignment, wheel balance, bushings, and steering pretensioner just to name a few

i think there is a topic a few links down in this section, about the EXACT performance SS kit. all the details are in there.

its basically a metal L-shaped block you install which effectively lowers your car about 20-25mm and has a couple of different offset holes in it. so your car sits lower 25mm lower with it so you can raise your coilovers that much and it will still sit the same height as before, and by choosing between the 3 offset holes you can adjust your camber outwards even further.
