inner part of tires wearing down?

i just noticed after hearing my tires when slowing down and making a uneven humming noise that the inner part of the tread on the front tires are worn down and wavt. now i have the eibach pro kit on there and i never got a alignment. so does that mean my tires are out of alignment or out of camber?

Yes... an alignment needs to be done anytime you mess with the suspension. You most likely have negative camber and it needs to get adjusted along with you needing new tires.

You need to get an alignment but there is no adjustment for camber in the front. The only way to get rid of it is with front adjustable A-arms from 350EVO, Stillen, Cusco, etc.

man, I can't imagine driving around with eibachs without getting an alignment...the car drove like crap after I installed the S-Techs and waiting for it to settle before taking
her in for an alignment. Prokits lower the car a tad more than s-techs so the toe
is completely out of alignment not to mention the rear camber too.

alignment rawks! definately needed to get back within specs, and to make sure your handling is better than stock. heaven forbid, just because it's dropped doesn't mean your car handles better. more like a.ss if anything!

If you didn't get an alignment, your camber and toe is out of spec. Now the front does not have camber adjustment, but it does have a little bit of toe adjustment. Since you didn't get the toe adjusted up front, it's out of spec. Out of spec toe means you might be experiencing tire feathering and bad camber, which is the result of the inside of your tires being worn as well as the waviness.

I had alignment done and after 10,000 miles I had the tires dismounted off the rim flipped around and remounted that way you get even wear on both sides.
