I bought the car like this. Firestone couldn't fix the allignment. One body shop said that I might need to buy all new shocks and springs perhaps? I bought a new rlca and thats not the case. Its not the rims or anything. It is slowly just killing my tire thread haha. If any of you guys have a suggestion or anything please let me know

what kinda measurements did they get? which ones were off?

pop off your suspension arms and see if they match left to right, if not then some are bent and you should replace them and try again with the alignment.

also your tires seem backwards..

Do you really think that one of the arms can cause a inward bent like that? rlca is what i thought but i guess not.. the only wheel that is bent was the rear passenger.

how is that arm bent? To me the passenger side looks like it has a ton of posi camber, thats it and some bad toe

pics of where the tire is being eaten and of the arms, below, above, front of the car facing back and vice versa

check lengths if you want, but mark where the eccentric bolts go
