Default what are your alignement specs?
if your camber is ok, i'd look at the toe.

Default Looks like you'e got it lowered alot. This affects the camber of the suspension . . .
you can help your tire wear by rotating them every 5K miles.

Default Toe won't cause "camber" wear. It scrubs the rubber off the tires . . .
because the tires are angle in (toed)or out from the centerline of the car.

Default Maybe he does not know the difference between camber and toe wear.
They wear in similar locations. Inproper toe in/out will shave off the rubber faster than anything. I'd also check this out - could be a bad suspension component.
