Default Tokico + Hotchkis springs?/now with ingalls front camber kit

anyone with this setup?

im running on my third set of tires in the last 30 thousand miles, all my tires are feathering on the inside. i have to rotate my tires and get alignment at every 5k miles or 3 is better!!!
now i didnt do it for 7k miles and the inside of all 4 tires are ruined.

I went to 3 toyota service... after a while they refused to do my car because im lowered.

i went to 3 different show around 441 and only 1 decided to take care of me. i still need some help to get on the machine because im too low but at least this guy is helpful. im always next to him when hes fixing the alignment, etc.

now i got ingalls front camber kit. he installed it, but it wasnt easy!
the included washer didnt even fit in the tokico shocks!!!!
this is how usually that washer looks like :



and this is how the package came :



this washer has two little pin which has to go inside the hole, but they dont fit in there!!!
maybe its because of the aftermarket shocks. I dont know. we called ingalls but no help. they wanted us to modify it somehow because they cant to anything!!!!!!!!
so the guy tried to bend those pins to fit in a smaller hole but one of them broke. we installed it that way because it was still holding the bolt in its place. he fixed the other one carefully, that didnt broke so we installed it and now the difference between my front tires was 0.13*

any experience with tokico and hotchkis?

watching...and did you also get camber links for the rear or just the bolts for the front to adjust it?

camber doesnt affect your tires as much as toe would...unless youre running like -5 degrees camber all around or your alignment guys arnt doing their job right...i dont think your tires would wear out in 7k miles unless you do burn outs at every light.

i was also looking into getting front camber bolts too, but now that ive seen that ingalls has some problems, im gonna stick with progress.
