Lowering car will certainly increase tyre wear on the inside. Another thing is that could affect is that TOE constant S is not always adjusted correctly when doing wheel alignment or after changing track rod ends. They just crank up bolt 'B' all the way thinking it'e there for securing not for adjustment.

Richard, Scott, Ainar, Thank You
I think thats what I'm going to do. Do you recon any good tyre shop will be able to do, I dont think there is much difference between an A8 and passat??? I do like the negative camber and since lowering the car I've experienced better cornering  How about that wear, is it safe to drive like that after correcting this issue?? Is it safe to put them at the rear axle??? And if lowering is the issue, why rears are evenly worn even if the rear was lowered as well???

Its safe, you'll be fine.
but if you have negative camber you will always have that ware. You want to go to a place that has 4 wheel laser alignment. GuppaP down here has it and does a very good. Passat?

Quote:
Is it possible to change the camber on 8s after lowering suspension?? Passat: I just wonder if alignment is it way more complicated than passat because of the air suspension or something??? Another question, I'm not an expert, but from my understanding if the toe is wrong then shouldn't I have excessive wear on at least 1/3-1/2 of the width because mine is just by the edge????

4 wheel alignment does it all.
I use pro tyre and they give a nice little print out to see what happened. Any tyre ware it's always worth getting the tracking done first and then after any suspension work or sub frame work
