Will Shocks slow outside sidewall wear on my fronts?

Since switching to standard rubber at the beginning of Spring, I've noticed accelerated wear on the outside sidewalls of my front tires in particular. Now until this point, I was planning to install the ///M control arms and increase the camber on the fronts as far as it would go to solve this problem. Since then though, I have found how much the stock shocks are holding me back, so I think I'd rather address that first. Will the stiffer shocks help to keep the sidewall from folding under the rim while turning? Not that I don't want to do both, but everything can't happen all at once, so I'd like to do the most important things first.

I'm running 36/39psi F/R and all other details from my build is in the signature.

Running more negative camber will help, not specifically the shocks, but camber plates and m control arms. Also tires with stiffer sidewalls will help as well. I run -3.0* front negative camber and have even wear. I also drive aggressively and track my car frequently.

Dammit, I mean I knew it wasn't the source of the problem, but I was hoping it would at least help lol. You sure it won't do anything at all? Less body roll and pitching won't keep the tires off their sides?

I really want to do the shocks now because I hate having shocks mismatched to the tire type, but if I do them, it makes sense to do everything at once and that's my struggle. One install cost, one alignment, but that might be too large an investment realistically once all is said and done. What camber plates do you run? I was looking at Vorshlag because someone recommended them.

$150 Dinan Camber Plates

The other thing you can do is move to no toe in your alignment up front, but that's not advisable. Spend $150 for fixed camber plates. Install is fast. Save $ on tire wear.

Fix the camber, or keep spending money replacing tires. Your choice.

I did the Dinan plates and M3 front arms, about the same price as a set of front tires. Shocks will be next.
