I have same issue on my 4th gen following lowering. You need some of these. There are several makes available i believe.

Its not camber thats ruins our tyres on the Prelude. Its toe and caster.
Get those adjusted and geometery setup and you will be fine.
I havnt had any issues with tyre wear being how low i am.

Yeah you have to be running rather low to screw up the camber that far, my tyres to wear ineven but it's a even 1-2 mm over the tread. If it's just your inner edge scrubbing out them it's most likely tracking which is always required after lowering imo.

I had my tracking fully setup after installing my 2ws setup and my coilovers. My car handled like a dog and ate tyres like they were sweets to a child.

Now it's been setup it's 100% better. I still need new coilovers as mine are shot now :-(
