Suspension (lowered) issue

The tire store told me there is no camber adjustment and the only correction was to raise the car back up. Does that sound correct? The reason the car was at the tire store was because the rear tires were completely worn down on the inside edge only. I just purchased the car and was told it was lowered by a very reputable customizer.

this is very common. the problem is that our rear toe changes significantly as we modify camber. when you lower the car, proper camber settings would make the car pidgeon toed. the correction is to purchase a set of toe steer arms from either Tarrett Engineering or The Racer's Group. i think there is a slightly used set on rennlist right now for $300.
