Camber adjust plates! Or live with it I guess, used to have the same on my MK1 Micra with a 40mm drop. Cornered like a go cart but always wore the inside shoulders no matter what I did. I used to feed it second hand tyres from the classified in the local paper/gumtree, anywhere I could inspect them first! At a tenner a pair I really didn't mind how long they lasted

Or you could do some more mods on the suspension like camber plates, or you might get lucky with the tracking... Depends how low you've gone and whether the rears are also wearing.

You don't need camber plates on a mk2 you can adjust it without any changes.

Camber takes thousands of miles to wear the inside of tyres noticably... it'll be the tracking

mine was up on the ramp the other week and all 4 of mine have inner edge wear, had all the aligment done ages ago but am blaming all the speed bumps etc fooking it up...i love london! annoyingly,the rest of tyre tread is ok even though they've been on about 20mths....best find myself 200 squiddlies somewhere

Oops, I'll just go back to my corner then!

MK2s have adjustable camber then? *rubs hands at thought of playing... then remembers it's my day to day runner not a project car *

Yep just loosen the hub bolts on the strut and adjust. Simple as.../
