Bumping thread sort of but yes i had solid bushings (front tension strut monoball conversion) installed (see pic) so that when I run -3 front camber for track days and on the street for a long period, the car doesn't eat inner tires from toe-induced deflection, which occurs from things like hard breaking or even suspension compression from undulations.

Most people wouldn't experience this type of tire wear because toe-induced deflection doesn't happen on properly aligned stock suspension unless negative camber is really high like at -3.
