Have you had the 4wa checked? Would be nice to know the readings of the rear camber.
I have the raceland coilovers fitted to front and the raceland springs to the rear without the adjustable platforms so pretty much as low as possible and ive not had any tyre wear problems

I had 4 wheel alignment done on my Corsa and it has about 1.2° camber on the rear and the printout showed it was within tolerance, so it's just how they make it.
If the rear tyres were extremely worn on the insides and not much on the outside then I would be checking the pressure more often.
You'll know what the score is once it's 4 wheel aligned anyway

Wont be tyre pressures.
Over inflation causes middle of tyre to wear
Underinflation causes both outer and inner walls to wear as the tyre walla sag

cant see how they done the rear, unless they used shims, in which case it must have gotten slightly bent along the line, tap on the kerb or something would probs do that

Prob cheated in the rear by twisting the mirrors.
We do it at work for local bodyshop so insurance company doesnt get grumpy.
Rear toe isnt adjustable on them so they must have cheated it in!
