Excessive Camber is an issue, but if you ALSO have toe "out", you will chew up your tires waaaay faster.
IF you are having severe inner tire wear AND have excessive camber, then ask your alignment guy to set the toe "in" to the maximum allowable factory spec. Just being within spec is not good enough. If the alignment guy tells you anywhere within spec is OK, then RUN don't walk and find yourself a REAL alignment guy who understands suspension geometry, versus just doing whatever the alignment machine tells him is "OK".
This will minimize your inner tire wear, but not eliminate it.

On another note, the CS drop is VERY conservative compared to almost all coilovers on the market. There are plenty of people with CS and moderate drop that do not have inner tire wear. I suggest your friend get an alignment and check for toe out as I mentioned in the previous post. (I say this assuming your friend has a GS?? Apples to Apples ? )

This problem is NOT due to the TEIN CS. If you lower the car excessively on coilovers or even springs, you will get inner tire wear.

+1 what Glen said, but i think everyone is missing the point of his tires also. If you are looking for a conservative drop TEIN CS is fine, get a good alignment and harder compound on your tires, I have a cheap pair of 20s I use for daily driving with H rated tires, sure they suck for traction, but man do the tires last forever....
Also the lower the tire profile and the higher the tire pressure the more susceptible you will be to inner tire wear. Someone on stock tires may experience little tire wear when slammed.

I've been seeing alot of these kinds of thread lately about people wanting to slam their cars to the ground and expect it to handle decently. That's not possible at all people!!! when you lower a vehicle too much, it will screw suspension geometry way off. Your only way is to modify your existing suspension by shortening the lower control arms amount other things. I myself have no experience on K-sport suspension products, but have plenty of experience with D2 racing sports suspension and BBK. I just simply design my own suspension setting and let D2 build it to however I feel is a good balance btw. ride height and handling. All of my setups are not what D2 sells to the general public.
