Your car comes from the factory with adjustable camber, are you looking to go outside of it's range?

are you looking to add or reduce camber? There is almost no reason to get aftermarket camber options other than hellaflushness LOL!

Did you get an alignment when you lowered the car? If not get one ASAP or it will cost you tires and an alignment.

I thought I specifically told you to get an alignment ASAP when I met you in front of Air Canada Center months ago?

Assuming camber is dialed in to nothing excesssive, toe will wear evenly across the tire surface.

Don't think it's toe
Negative camber I'd say

Did you flush your car?
I think you should reduce the negative camber angle if it's not rubbing

I would say you do a lot of highway and straight line driving.

Its most definitely toe... you wont get that wear in a couple of months just because of camber, I speak from experience...
I installed my new coilovers and ended up driving around 400km before getting my alignment done, lost about 20-25% of my brand new tire on one side, was running an inch of toe in or so said scott at Can-alignment LOL ...which by the way is where I recommend going.
