Look at my alignment Specs....

Well I have had very bad luck with tires lately. I got 2 alignments in the past month and a half and wore through my stock tires. Now I just got my alignment done on thursday at Honda and they put on brand new kumho tires with my summer rims. Now the car definately has less negative camber in the front. They printed me out a spec sheet of the alignment. My before specs were so fucked up. Now my front camber and toe are within specs and so is the rear.

Is there any possible way I can wear out my tires unevenly (no curbs or big potholes withstanding)?

By the way I have GC Coilovers, tokico shocks, Ingalls camber kit in front and longer bolts and washers in the rear. Dropped about 1.8 in front and 1.7 in back.

Went to Honda early this morning spoke to them about maybe getting less Toe in the rear, they said thats the most it would allow.
Will I see alot of wear now? The guy said i'm within specs so I should be ok.

Toe is what causes tire wear.

you have a camber kit good for you but I have this feeling that you are NOT rotating your tires. Every 6,000 miles you should be taking your car back where you got your tires and letting them rebalance the tires and put the front on the back and the backs on the front.

This will help prevent pre mature tire wear even if your specs are slightly out of wack.
