uneven tyre wear

maybe try to re-do your alignment, see what the computer say, if there is no camber, toe is the only way, possible you have too much "toe out", try to set more toe in now, and spot will the inner tyre stop wearing out.

when you guys go for alignment do you hang around and go on the test drive with the mech?

mate do another wheel alignment, they probably got a dodgy 1st year apprentice to do it or something.

when i first installed my coilovers i didnt get a wheel alignment, went and got new tyres, 4 weeks later it was worn to the wire of the tyres. went to get a wheel alignment, the mechanic said my toe was in about 20 degrees, which is bad, cos i understeered alot with when it wasnt aligned, after that it was all good.

just do it again

I tell them the alignment settings I want and they do it in front of me. So I get what I pay for.

Depends what you want out of your car. If you know the stock alignment settings from the service manual, tell them to use those settings. The settings in their alignment computer database can sometimes be out of date and they use settings meant for a similar model instead.
