TR6 TR6 - uneven tire wear in rear tires

Hello,

The rear tires in my TR6 are wearing more on the inside than the outside. Not a big deal in that I hope to have new tires this summer, but obviously I need to correct his before I get the new tires. In any case, would this be due to bad shocks or springs, and how would one test this to be sure? Has anyone had to correct for this? How difficult or involved was the repair? If it was shocks, who did you have repair them? If it was springs, did you put in new stock spring, or an upgrade? Any input would greatly be appreciated.

You have the classic ride height problem called "squat" This causes too much neg camber on the rear wheels. Sometimes they can be shimmed up, but long run, start figuring on new springs(or lots of new tires).I like the OE springs with the tube shock conversion, but there are lots of things to consider....
