Does lowering cause uneven tire wear.
Hi, Noob... sorry, I want to lower my X but i'm curious if lowering it causes the camber to be messed up and cause uneven tire wear, namely inner tire wear. has anyone encountered this yet? or knows the answer?

It can depending on how low you go but your car has camber adjustment on both the front and rear stock so you can correct is by getting an alignment after.

Agreed ^, the right way to lower a car is to get an alignment after.

Lowering does change camber and toe. Have the car aligned after.
