Tire overinflation wouldn't necessarily cause the tires to go bald that quickly. They may make for a hard ride but more than anything else, it's the toe adjustment. Since you're lowered you don't have much adjustibility. The G doesn't offer the best adjustibility for toe. Take your car to NTB or whereever it is that you get your stuff done and have them check the toe. They're probably going to tell you that you're maxed and that they did they best they could with what they had. Order new toe bolts and have them installed = no more issues.

I beg do differ. Gross over or underinflation can cause a lot of wear on the tires. I agree that toe is more likely the main problem, but a bad toe setting coupled with over or under inflation (more than a couple of pounds) can cause the toe wear to be greatly accelerated.
Underinflation and toe cause more wear than overinflation and toe.

Yeah yeah, Im old!
A woman brings in a Corvette, tells me that I screwed up her rear alignment, as the rear tires are totally bald.
I put it on the rack, show her, and my service manager the specs, it was perfect.
Then I recognized something about the car, I asked her if her son drives it, she said yes!!
I mentioned he was at the street races Saturday night racing this car, she said nothing and left!!
