My wife's '99 has chewed through 2 tires on the extreme inside - it's gotta be messed up toe settings. I had it realigned by a guy I trust and at the time the toe #s were fine but camber was a bit wonky. What controls toe? Are there bushings I should be looking at in particular?

The tires also show signs of improper camber, what would be the cheapest and most effective way to make this adjustable? My car is a '97 Miata which is fully adjustable out of the box...

I had a '97 EX and my tires showed cupping on the inner tread and ended up replacing the ball joints with fully adjustable ones. Until that point I changed the shocks to Koni reds (originals broke), and had multiple alignments done. I finally found a good shop that told me what was wrong. Every other place told me to get a camber kit even though I was at the stock height. Since I did everything else suspension wise, I ended up putting in Eibach springs in which didn't really change the ride much. The comfort was the same and a significant increase in handling. I don't remember the brand of ball joint I used but the shop charged me around 1k out the door for parts, labor and alignment. It seems like a lot for the car but my dad uses it now to go to work everyday.
