if you dont want to buy a camber kit stick with 1.5" or less if you dont want camber wear on your tires. but that sucks so just spend more money and buy the camber kit and drop it 2.25"

well with my ej8 i got the Tein s-tech springs. 1.9 in the front and 1.7 in the rear it looks good imo and my tires are doing fine without a camber kit.

get coilovers, 16 inch wheels and 45 series tires. there will be minimal wheel gap and itll have fine camber.

You can get some coil overs for a decent price.. check out the marketplace and other places... At least with coil overs you can adjust the height to whatever you want.

Just a suggestion to the OP though, when you post new threads, don't use ****** on both sides of it, its kind of annoying IMO.
