Well I have around -2.2 degrees camber, but with proper alignment and frequent tire rotation, tire wear has been almost perfectly even for the past 20K+ miles since I installed the suspension back in February. I have not noticed any significant sagging since I installed it, either.

I have them on my GSR and I am within spec on the back wheels and only -.8 degrees outta spec on the front. I have an Ingalls camber kit waiting to be installed but so far, the inside of the tires look fine. It's been almost half a year since the install.

i have the sports springs on my 98 GSR for a couple months now. front wheels started to tilt in a little, so just to save money on tires i plan on getting a camber kit soon.

How often do you rotate your tires?

Just installed my H&Rs this weekend with a progress camber kit, camber is fine. The springs are AWESOME with my AGXs.

I rotate about every 5K miles, give or take. That's what you should do for any car anyway. Your car will handle better w/o a camber kit and the H&R Sport springs. straight up 0 camber is bad.

I just got my car aligned (after 60k+ w/ hr sports) and my camber is at -2.2 degrees all around also. Tire wear is slightly greater. There appears to be some camber wear after 30k, and only on the rears. I rotate my tires every 10k or so.

However, after I first got my sus put on and had the car aligned, the camber was at -1.9 all around...so obviously the spring/shock combo has sagged/settled a little bit.

Cool, I also paired my H&R with AGX and yes they do handle really well
