first off. dont align the same day you put your springs on. give it 2-3 weeks, because the springs have to settle before you want to align otherwise your tires will wear premature after the springs settle, unless of course you get another alignment done, but you are better of waiting until they settle. just had springs (Espelir ASD springs) put onto my car yesterday without a camber kit. I am not worried about tire wear issues, people do it ALL the time. Also tire wear depends on how you drive your car, if you dont drive real hard you really don't have much to worry about. I baby my car, which is why i am not too worried, and plus after i put new tires on, i am going to put on tires that will give me more miles, and not as sporty as the one's that come stock. my .02$. Goodluck! p.s. go for the springs it's well worth it!

If you get a camber kit.. it should be fine.

Beware tho', there isn't, technicallly, front camber kit available although few people have reported that Stillen has already released a set for the front. You can get SPC (I believe is out) or Eibach camber kit for the rear tho'.

I'm also getting my Eibach soon... I'm just trying to find a reputable installer around my area with the best price. One place quoted me around $750 for the Eibach pro-kit and Eibach rear camber kit installed, and I probably will be doing it. BTW, it's Corner 3 Garage of Lake Forest, California that I got quoted from... if anyone wants to know.

As for alignment, I've heard Firestone has the best equipment along with their life time alignment deal for around $130 which is a killer deal for anyone with a car that is lowered/camber adjusted.

I am doing the firestone 130 dollar alignment. it makes most sense because i plan on getting alignments often, so its cheaper in the long run obviously. this is probably a better way to keep your tire wear as regular as possible for a car that is lowered.

Wow ... I think getting three 200 pound adults in the back is a greater acheivement than the car not rubbing!
