Reply to "tire wear questions..."

As @sethsaccocio said, you need front adjusters with more range.

The rear is more complicated. The springplate to diagonal arm relationship can be adjusted to gain a small measure of positive toe.  If your car is significantly lowered, there is not nearly enough adjustment to correct for this.  
Depending on how much work you want to do, there is a fix for this.  The diagonal arm has about 1 to 1.5 degrees of negative camber built in.  You can flip the diagonal arms over from one side to the other, but to do this you have to cut off the shock mount, and reweld on the other side.  This is not something for the someone without some fabrication experience. Most just learn to live with the tire wear.

If I was doing this, I would do exactly like I did on my 1958 Ghia.  I’d narrow the control arms, and take the camber out when I weld the bearing housing back in. Kills 2 birds with 1 stone.
