Default King spings... camber, tyre wear.. HELP

Hey guys

I've sadly recently sold my 19" mags due to the cost of replacing tyres and camber wear in the rear tyres from the superlows on my Vr calais. I've purchased some 18's hoping that i would save some money. What would be the best way to stop this camber ( wearing in the inside part of the tyre) from continuing.
Should change my rear spings from superlows to lows ? Will this reduce the camber much ?
Does anybody have 18's currently running superlows, is there alot of camber wear ? because if not i won't bother, as tyres are much cheaper.

Also my ride in my car is really rough ever since i've gotten the superlows placed, they didn't replace the front shocks as they were already aftermarket, but they replaced the rears with monroe gas shocks ? what can you do to stop the ( feel every bump ride ) ? I've noticed in other threads about people getting shortened shocks for the rear ? are my monroe gas shocks shortened ?

if ur gonna go low ur gonna feel the bumps more. the lower the springs, the stiffer they have to be to prevent bottoming out. and you can pick up a superpro camber kit off ebay for about $150. they are designed to stop exactly what ur problem is with your tyre wear.
