I lowered my TC2 back in Februrary with Eibach sportlines and I have noticed excessive tire wear all around on the inner and otter area of the tires. I am really considering on going back to stock springs and realigning my car. what could have caused this rapid tire wear?

Did you do an alignment after installing? Camber, and especially toe, will wear your tires excessively.

I did align it. The car also feels horrible through bumps and uneven road surfaces. I dont know but the reason I bought a new car was to have a smooth ride. Lowering the car reminds me of my old mustang. every pot hole was a nightmare.
Not only that but the car also makes noise like if the struts were broken or loose.

Lol, sounds like an exaggerated version of my car on Sportlines. The ride is definitely rough through bumps and potholes. You just get REALLY good at memorizing their locations so you can avoid them.

I don't have issues with tires wearing unevenly though. I've had my Sportlines on for almost 3 years at this point and the tires wear fine.

I'd go back to stock, but then I'd HATE the way my car looks. Couldn't imagine going back up so high.

If the wear is only on the inside, that is from camber. If it is wearing on the inside and outside, that is usually from under inflation. Check these symptoms out as well.

did you change the shocks and struts when the springs were installed?

Ive had eibach sportlines on my tc for about 8-9 months now, havent notice any excessive tire ware.

Killer, did you ever get the issue with your springs fixed? If so, how?

KILLER

Nope, never found out. I traded the TC for a Corolla S plus a few days ago.
I do remember the guy who installed my springs saying i would have to replace the shocks in a couple of months. That I would know when the car starts to feel rough.
I was going to buy the TRD shocks and re align it again if I still had the TC.

whaaaat, why did you trade in your tc?

KILLER

The 2014 Corolla has more features and I got a lower interest rate, lower insurance and I was able to get a loan for 2 Corollas. A white S for my mom and sister to share and I got myself the Black one. I could'nt refuse the offer of 2 Spankin new cars.

I can understand that, good luck man!

Killer, you gotta trade up, not down... fail.
