HELP Excessive tire wear

So about 1,500 miles ago I got an alignment and new front tires because I neglected to get one after I installed my coilovers and my tires were shot. I asked for a stock alignment and to zero out the toe in the front. They did that fine but the caster is wayy different in each side, it's like 8° and 6° and they said they couldnt adjust it. These front tires are already bald on the insides and I will need new ones AGAIN soon. Im running a federal 595 ss lowered on fortune 500 coils and it is daily driven with occasional spirited driving. I just need some ideas on why I'm burning through front tires so fast?

And I dont think it is the tires, I'm running about -2.7° of camber in the rear and the toe is f*** up with way more life left and the fronts show tire wear that looks very similar to extreme camber wear. Could it be due to a stretched setup (not extreme only a 215 on a 9 wide) or does my car not hold alignment?

Im pretty new to working on cars and I'm trying to teach my slef stuff, so if anyone could help I would really appreciate it!
