      you dont think it could be the upper strut mounts

        did you have your allignment done after you were done like your supposed to do after tearing your suspension apart? Start simple, if you didnt do a basic step dont think its something major, start with the simple.
        There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

          toe causes inner/outer tire wear, not the strut mounts

            It sounds to me like too much negative camber.

              which way are the tabs on your upper strut mounts pointing? if you don't know what i'm talking about, take a pic of your engine bay and post it so we can tell you.

                in stock form unless the suspension components are bent, there is no way to achieve camber bad enough to cause tire wear.

                    well the tabs are pointing the right direction. you lowered your car enough to throw your toe settings off to into extreme degrees to be causing tire wear. like everyone said, alignment.
