When I bought my 2009 C2, the original owner had changed the stock wheels to 19" F/R. Nice but rear tire wear is proving to be a bitch, specially on the inside.
I've been looking a this product a means to "dial-in" the camber a bit better. So if anyone has had experience with these in particular, please give me your thoughts and experiences. http://meganracing.com/mrs-pc-0410.html
I personally wouldnt go swapping out links without first getting the car properly aligned using your stock hardware. There's no reason you cant rectify that issue with alignment changes. Many/most of us have cars that came with 19s. Some are running wider 19x12" in the rear. Others 20x11 or 20x12 too. I have zero issues with inner tire wear on 19x11 305/30 in the rears.
Decide if you want best handling or best mileage. Talk to a good mechanic who will volunteer to ask you about your driving habits and expectations before he does the work (note the words volunteer and before).
Toe in is a bigger problem than camber regarding inner wear, and small changes make big differences.
Lots of previous posts on this topic, but since search isn't even an option on my phone I'll leave that to others.

Stock hardware can give you adjustment needed to get the longevity of your rear tires, but you will sacrifice cornering. I think the rear camber on my base 997.2 is -1.5. I have heard others going to -1.0 and that has worn the tire almost perfectly. Just know it will still somewhat wear on the inside edge.
I have megan racing toe links on my 986 boxster due to extensive lowering. They work fine, and were dirt cheap in comparison to other choices, but they are also heavy as hell. I'd buy them again or make my own.
Stock alignment = Inner wear.

+1 Totally agree, toe can cause massive inner wear, I had this on the wife's 335i - I thought the camber setting must be off but when I got it aligned the numbers came back with stock camber but toe settings out of adjustment.
I'd get a good alignment before you start looking to swap parts out.

Does anyone have experience with these?
