Default camber issue with coilovers

I bought an 06 z last week with pfadt coilovers the back end is lowered down to where the tires are right below the fender, the inside of the tires are wearing more so than the outside, is this an issue that an alignment shop can correct or do I need some sort of camber kit to adjust this? I hate o raise the car up any because it looks good the way it is sitting.

Thanks
Sean

The camber is most likely set like that so the tire can tuck in the fender with out rubbing. If you take camber out it will most likely rub if you dont raise it up.

You ever see those import cars? Crazy camber and stretched tires over the rim.

The coil overs are adjustable, try raising the back end a 1/2 inch and check your clearance and you should be good to go.
