The shop was able to zero out the camber and the handling and responsiveness improved considerably along with better treadwear. Lowered SSRs may complicate this a bit, but you might take it to a shop you trust and see what they can do.

For SSR owners in the Denver area, I highly recommend Stan's Alignment on east Colfax - they have competent mechanics, they've been in business for a very long time and they will treat you right.
Thanks for all the info. It's off to the alignment shop.
As Blue Fox noted,there is no doubt that there was another 10,000 miles left of the rest of the tires
