Parts were new at the time of the alignment, and seem to still be nice and tight from my examination.

I am almost 100% sure that I tossed the alignment sheet in the trash, it was a number of years ago that it was aligned. Sadly, I don't drive the car as often as I should and only put 2000 miles on in like four years.

Based on your suggestions, assuming the components are OK, it sounds like lowering via the torsion bars would not be the cause of the wear? I just don't want to buy two new tires, and pay for an alignment and have the same thing happen again.

Is there anything I should be telling the alignment guy?

Thanks!
