Just curious what people think to problem...

Lowered on coilovers and tracked by eye. the last tracking place worn tyres out in two weeks... :-/

Anyway... after nearly finishing the tyres off i have this...



the outer edge on the right one is worse.. and left one just starting... simple case of tracking out a tiny bit?

Looks like a geometry issue.

Ride height has a direct effect on Camber angles, so as you have lowered the car you will have knocked out the camber and it will need resetting, wrong camber wears the edges of tyres very quick

I think you need to get the geometry looked at first.
