Any idea why am getting uneven tyre wear like the edge of 50p on the inner shoulder of my rear tyres's ?
Car is a 2007 WRX GB270.
The car does have a 25mm rear anti roll bar and solid drop links (Perrin), fitted and its still on its original shockers which have covered 58k.
Do i need some rear adjustable camber bolts ? Or is there another unforseen problem ?
Would this fail an MOT aswell ?
Cheers for any pointers on this

ARB and drop-links aren't involved in the static geometry of the car. They are only actively involved in the dynamic behaviour of the suspension system.
You need to ask Revolution if the settings are a touch "aggressive" or has the rear been bumped ?

P.S. A random tyre fault is also possible.

Please take this suggestion as the friendly advice it is: It sounds like you aren't thrashing it hard enough in bends. The standard -1.0 degree camber means the tyres lean on the inside shoulder. Lots of motorway miles, and not enough "sporty" driving bends will mean more wear on the inside than outside.

Few possible causes ,
very low profile tyres will some time's do it at the end of there life ,
tracking is still out on rear,
tyre's where on the front previously ,
car lower than standard ,
some tyre's wear funny,
may be it's got camber bolts and someone has been playing,
may be an idea to get your local tyre shop to have a look ,they will tell you if they are legal or not .

Must admit I do, do a lot of motorway miles with very little chance of spirited driving. The cars never been bumped as far as am aware and I've had it from new.
Think when I get the chance I'll have it back to Revolotuion for a check of it's current settings
