At sals autosport right now knocking out the toe bolts... As he said they had some installed but the actual bolt compared to the spc was so thin and my rear camber on the right tire was loose... So hopefully they get it right.

Specs don't look too bad. Looks like a toe problem before, but it is fixed now. Camber is slight, but not out of the ordinary for the coupe. I'm still interested in how many miles you put on the car in the 6 months. You said 3 oil changes, how often do you change your oil? And those Nitto 555's are "ultra high-performance" summer tires. You'll get 12k-15k miles out of them, depending on your driving habits.

Yeah on the fronts he said I might need spacers to get it back to spec but it's not that bad

I would check to make sure your control arm bushings are ok. You ate through those tires.

If just TOE is off, you'll eat through the whole tread not just inside. If camber is terrible, you can eat through just the inside or outside.

If your bushings are bad then you can eat the inside tread just like that.

Either way, driveability should be crazy. What did the shop say after they did the alignment? What did they say about not being able to get it back into spec?

How much material needs to be removed for the bolts?
