Default alignment question

taking my tC to get an alignment tomorrow, got a stupid question, is the rear suspension adjustable at all, im lowered on stechs and have inner camber wear, but no odd wear on the front, the car had the same problem before i lowered it, just want to see what im getting myself into, is this going to be a routine alignment or are they going to want to install camber plates or something, thanks for the help

i have my car lowered on stechs and the back has toe adjustments in the rear and my guess is you have more toe wear then cam wear. my left rear camber is off but havent had any wear since i had the toe adjusted in the rear.

this car has always had a inner wear problem on the back, called an alignment ship and apparently theyve seen a few tcs with that problem

Out of spec toe alignment will wear down a tire faster than having negative camber alone. There is no aftermarket camber plates for the tC, just camber bolts. And a few on here have said that the factory hardware can adjust camber back to within spec just fine with the S-Tech drop.
