coilovers are fine for dd.. i have a sedan on coils.. i have rear camber arms but waiting to get the front arms to put everything in. i would honestly save for everything that you want and not get stuck with something that you are going to second guess later. i'm glad i went with coilovers!!

if you want an SPC and want to save some money... order an Eibach one (made by SPC-i bought an Eibach rear camber/toe kit and was stamped with SPC)
Dont forget shocks!! tokico hp blues aren't too pricey and should be ok. I would look at 350z shocks/struts since you'll be lower then OEM G height
Im on tanabe DF210 and tokico d specs(these have dampning adjustment)- I would possibly go with Swift If i did it again since it has the same drop as my DF210s but are a bit stiffer.

sounds like a plan to me. coils CAN be daily driven, i do it myself. Rear camber kits are normally what everyone does, but fronts i dont bother. I have had no issues so far, but it is pretty cambered.
I think the guy told me as long as both sides are cambered evenly it will be okay. Watch out for toe in/out, thats what eats tires up.

I found my spec sheet from when i had the car aligned LAST december.... after i got these new wheels and tires put on.
Note- my tires have worn evenly for the past 13K miles or so...
Front Left-
-.8 camber
8 caster
.02 toe
Front Right- -1.5 camber
8.1 caster
.06 toe
Rear Left
-1.7 camber
.09 toe
Rear Right
-1.5 camber
.10 toe
Now, you guys tell me whats wrong with the alignment...

Eventually they will. It really depends on the drop that you have. If you are running something like Tanabe DF210 (this is what Eldgebroni has on his car) or Eibach Sportline (Hydroeric had this on his car), you will eventually blow out the the shocks quicker than with Stechs due the more aggressive drop.
