lowering springs

Which springs would be best for a decent drop but wont cause uneaven tire wear and all the negatives that come with lowering a car.

My I give you an obvious answer....forget lowering springs! Between the cost of springs and the camber adjusters front and rear plus install labor+alignment you're looking at least $1K....is that negative?

I couldn't R10T, totally destroyed the b-stones I was using after installing my springs. Ended up buying/installing the complete camber it, that fixed my tire wear/handling issues.

I'm on h techs and very close to spec. I think I'm .1 out on the rears. Not to bad for no camber kits.

Where those H Techs or S? I was looking at getting H Techs. Since I put 20's on my Coupe, it feels higher. I want it back to stock height.
