So I moved in with my girlfriend in May but lately lately she has been working a lot of late shifts, and for the past 5 weeks she has been carpooling with a male co-worker. At first I didn't mind in case she has car trouble or something like that, but it seems they have become a little bit more than friends. You know the scenario, the phone calls that hang up, she starts wearing nice clothes to work and talking about him all the time then abruptly stops leaving an uncomfortable silence.
If I'm out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I'm in the house (they think Im sleeping) they sit out in the car for like twenty minutes.
I asked her once what they were doing, and she said "Just talking" ....whatever. So last night I decided to see whats really going on out there. So I leave the garage door open, and turn off all the lights. About the time she usually gets home, I go out in the garage and wait.. In a few minutes, his car pulls into my driveway,and Im hiding behind my STi. When his headlights shine through my garage and onto the car, I see something that I just couldn't believe. The front camber is severely wearing my front tires. Now i have to get camber plates. Should I get the Cusco camber plates or the Race Comp Engineering ones?

What you should do first is address how much wear the tires are wearing and why. Have you significantly modified the suspension at all (i.e. lowered)? If so you may want to think about re-adjusting it so that you don't get significant wear.
If you want the lowered look for your car, then maybe an alignment is in order; you don't necessarily need camber plates. Crash bolts are a good alternative to camber plates and will also give you adjustment without breaking the bank. Since you're not using lights as you've stated in your post, you can resort to other forms of lighting from such things as a flash light or candle. Jack up the car and loo

First off, nicely done!
I'd check your alignment before you think about getting camber plates. The wear could be due to toe. Toe kills tires faster than camber.
