Default need help with camber level on my 98 gs300

So i have a gs300. I just had it lowered a couple months ago. I had the fenders rolled and set all the wheels to negative camber. just recently i noticed that the 2 back tires (inside) were worn out after a couple of months,because of the camber . Now my questions: is there a way i can still have my wheels camber with less damage to my tires? Or do i need additional parts?

Your toe is most probably out. Buy some adjustable toe arms and it will reduce inner tire wear. Goodluck.

I'm not sure I understand. You run all your tires at negative camber and you are asking if there is anyway to lessen the wear on the tires? In short, the answer would be to not run negative camber.

When driving low your toe is probably being knocked out. I also had the same problem and after talking to lots of guys who lasted 3x as long as I did running the same camber. I came to the conclusion that my toe HAS to be getting knocked out of alignment while being slammed. I'd get toe links, camber arms & traction links for the rear. Rework everything to handle the stress and it SHOULD hold up.

It's only logical that even with toe links that its possible that it can be knocked out of alignment since the rest of your suspension is still old and not as stiff/new.

This is coming from someone with adjustable toe links and nothing else in the rear.
