im also on bc with there 10k front and 8k rear spring..
when you get the wheels on and align the car let me know i do alignments on my car and can try to help you out.. most people dont realize when you have a lot of negative camber, you can toe in the alignment to help with uneven tire wear and make the tire ride closer to the middle and not some much the inside right next to the sidewall. i drive about 80 miles a day and get about 8 months to a year out of my tires

You will never get back to spec as long as you have an air setup. it will air up "around" what you height was and even that it is still out of spec. seriously DUMP it and go coilovers and cups. my previous setup was airforce cups and coilovers. it was the best setup functionality wise. i had cups at all 4 corners and it did what it was supposed to do . but i got into an accident last summer and well the suspension got damaged so i removed it and sold it. im on BC coilovers. on stock wheels. I dont think i can remember last time i drove my car and it was this smooth lol

thanks man ill def get in touch with you! at the moment i will be on stock wheels and i will be ordering a front cup kit for my car. after that i will be getting the bumper repaired i guesss dude to poor body work... **** is starting to crack. And i have to get a new fender . that will need new paint and reworked for the pull and roll.
yes stock is good. I drove my business partners masarati quatroportte for one weekend a while back . It was sooo smooth and it was soo nice. so balla yet so stock and it felt nice. i wouuld seriously dump my car for it any day!
man dump the freakn air set up. IMHO ALL air setups are trash... from airuner, ksport, AF, UAS, i dont give a *****. they all do the same thing lol. you get an alignment at ride height with air. Then you keep playing with the switches your alignment is already out of spec...

i had AF i dont think they make that kit anymore but i paid like 2600 for the whole setup. it was really like and convinent as to how it worked. but if you want something get BC coilovers on umbrella auto design cups... or maybe the phantom cups. but they only can give you the front cups. the rears will require modification. anyways dump the air and go cups and coils
cups are the shizzle!! cant go wrong with it!!
