For some reason my tires keep wearing on the inside. I have been told by the tire company that the alignment is off. I got it aligned and i was still the same. I was told the suspension was bad. I went to a suspension specialist and they said it was fine. Does anyone know?

What kind of car do you have?
What modifications have you done?
Your inner tire wear seems to be associated with high negative camber so the inside edge of the tire is touching the ground rather than the entire width of the tread. If you got the wheels aligned but didn't replace your wheels, then tire wear will be even. Since the inner side wore out faster, that area will still wear down, but evenly with the rest of the tire.

You could also have too much toe in/out. My car is dropped about 2" all around but I'm running 2.5 negative front and 1.8 negative rear camber and my tires are wearing fine event with 20'ish autocrosses on my tires this year.
Last year I had 1.5 negative front and 2.2 negative rear with 30 autocrosses and my soft Falken Azenis lasted all year with tread to spare. Even with 15K street miles on them.

I have a '94 delsol and it was lowered when i bought it. From looking at the suspension the guy didnt buy any coilovers or springs, i think he had them cut. Only the front is lowered to, about 1.5". Does this mean anything?

Ha all your events evened out the wear.
I bet if you did not run those events the inner wear would be more biased.

Actually my current set of 205/50x15" Azenis on 15x6" stock wheels are wearing evening too. Never ran them on an autocross :)
