hmm, i'm dropped on neuspeed sport springs (1.75 front/1.50 rear) and i have pretty bad camber. ~1.4 deg in the front and ~2.0 degrees off in the rear. Looking at the front tires, the camber wear is showing a bit. I'd get a camber kit for the front. Rear = washers

did you get an alignment after the drop, before the wear?
