Default tire wear with eibach on 1st gen gs

i am thinking about getting eibach for my 94 gs300 since it needs need shocks.

i have been reading the archives, and i noticed that some experience uneven tire wear and others don't. what would make some have uneven tire wear and others don't? is this camber issue? i understand eibach has camber adjustment kit... has anyone used the kit to adjust the camber?

what should i do or not do in order to avoid the uneven tire wear?

your suggestion is appreciated.

I'd like to add also a question on the same topic - If you lower your car with Eibachs will Lexus do the alignment? I've tried NTB and other places and they f--- it up every time.

Good question BTW.

I used to have eibachs on my 93 and did not notice any unusual tire wear because the drop was not really noticable maybe an inch at the most but still a huge gap in the fender well. If you want a really good drop I dont recomend these springs, but if it is performance and ride your looking for go for it. I ended up replacing my springs with Blitz springs and KYB struts which dropped the car a good 3 1/2 inches and it made my tires wear out super fast and still with the alignment I go through tires every 6 months more so in the back than the front, but its an even tire wear... but I love the drop, you know what they say gotta pay to play...
