How low is the car?

When was the last time it was wheel aligned? Too much negative camber causes inner edge wear and toe out will exacerbate this.

To bring camber back to normal amounts (if it's been lowered a bit), your best bet is adjustable upper arm bushes. They can be had through the Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy for around the $190 delivered mark.

If it's only on the inside, your camber is out, get a wheel alignment and it should correct it

This is not true, it could be the front wheels are towing out, it could be worn bushes, or even a caster issue.

How often are the tyres rotated, as the cars have such high caster normally to make steering lighter, this can be a common cause of inside edge tyre wear if tyres dont get rotated often enough.

Take it to a GOOD wheel aligner or even a GOOD front end mechanic, and get them to have a look over the front, they will normally be a good starting place to ask for information.
