Default Ground Controls

For people who own this or any other brand. My main concern is the tread being worn out really fast. I know you should purchase a camber kit but what's the use of a camber kit if you get the car alligned with the camber kit and then you slam it later. Isn't this going to go out of factory specs anyway? I mean if u use the ground control at maybe a 1.5 drop then likely u don't have to use a camber kit. But if you decide to drop it more then chances are, camber kit becomes a neccessity. I want to get ground controls but i do not want to get a camber kit.
I want to drop it about maybe 1.5-1.7 all around for daily use and sometimes slam it for a maybe a week or less just for show and then rise it back up to 1.5-1.7. If this is how I'm going to use the ground controls will my tire wear be ok?
I still don't understand what's the use of getting your car alligned with coilovers.
Someone please clarify, thanks.

i've heard of some people lowering their rides and not getting camber kits. all i can say is try it and watch your tires. when you go to get your car aligned after putting on your new springs, the computer should tell you whether or not you camber can come back to specs without major adjustment ie. camber kit. do you know what camber is? i have my car lowered to where the front fender is just at the tire where you can't even put a finger in. the guy at the shop where i did my camber and alignment told me i could move the car up and down without another alignment or camber adjustment.
